The answer
TWICE
What twice means
Occurring or done two times, or multiplied by two in amount or degree.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "twiges," meaning "two times," formed from "twi-" (two) plus "-ges," an adverbial suffix. The "twi-" element comes from Proto-Germanic "twi-," related to Latin "bi-" (both meaning two). The suffix "-ges" created adverbs from numerals, eventually evolving into the modern "-s" or silent ending we see today.
