Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WEB (a word common to Teutonic languages, cf. Du. webbe, Dan. vaev, Ger. Gewebe, all from the Teutonic wabhto weave) , that which is
woven
  (see
WEAVING
 ). The word is thus applied to anything resembling a web of
cloth
 , to the vexillum of the feather of a
bird
 , to the membrane which connects the toes of many aquatic birds and some aquatic mammals; it is particularly used of the " cobweb," the net spun by the spider, the Old
English
  name for which was dtor-coppe, i.e. poison-head (aloe, poison, and coppe, tuft or head). In
architecture
  the
term
  " web " is sometimes given, in preference to "
panel
 ," to the
stone
  shell of a vault resting on the ribs and taking its winding surface from the same; see VAULT.
