Wednesday Word: Twangle

Twangle - verb

Twangle, and it's kin twangles, twangler, twangled and twangling as you might have guessed, are related to twang, but I wasn't thinking that when a Words With Friends bot surprised me with it!

A twang can describe someone's accent or the action of plucking an instrument string, such as a guitar. Twangle can also describe playing an instrument. For example, "The piano teacher played the piece once, then again, demonstrating how twangling can add zest to the music".
