OriginOld English thwang, thwong, of Germanic origin; related to German Zwang 'compulsion'. Compare with whang. Thong is related to twinge (Old English), which originally meant to pinch. In Anglo-Saxon times a thong was a shoelace. It then came to be used for any narrow strip of leather, and finally to any thin strip of material, from which came the modern use for minuscule underwear in the 1970s.
