Twain is an archaic word meaning two. In modern times technology has suggested it's meaning to be Technology without an interesting name.

Another meaning (based on the ancient "two" mentioned above) is found in the expression 'Mark Twain', which also became the pen name of the famous author. It is a expression used by Mississippi boat pilots measuring the river's depth at any point, meaning 'two fathoms deep'.
