Etymology

The evolution of the word can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic '*pliwลnฤ…', which means to fold or bend. Over time, 'plying' has developed various meanings in English, including the action of repeatedly offering something, as well as a method in textile creation where fibers are twisted together.
