twin
\twin\, n.
1. one of two produced at a birth, especially by an animal that ordinarily brings forth but one at a birth; -- used chiefly in the plural, and applied to the young of beasts as well as to human young.
2. pl. (astron.) a sign and constellation of the zodiac; gemini. see gemini.
3. a person or thing that closely resembles another.
4. (crystallog.) a compound crystal composed of two or more crystals, or parts of crystals, in reversed position with reference to each other.
note: the relative position of the parts of a twin may be explained by supposing one part to be revolved 180° about a certain axis (called the twinning axis), this axis being normal to a plane (called the twinning plane) which is usually one of the fundamental planes of the crystal. this revolution brings the two parts into parallel position, or vice versa. a contact twin is one in which the parts are united by a plane surface, called the composition face, which is usually the same as the twinning plane. a penetration twin is one in which the parts interpenetrate each other, often very irregularly. twins are also called, according to form, cruciform, geniculated, etc.

Twin
Twins are a form of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy, either of the same or opposite sex.
The general term for more than one offspring from the same pregnancy is multiples, for example triplets refers to cases of three offspring from the same pregnancy. A fetus alone in the womb is called a singleton.
Human twins are two individuals who have shared the uterus during a single pregnancy and are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. Due to the limited size of the mother's womb, multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than singleton births, with twin pregnancies lasting only 37 weeks on average, 3 weeks less than full term. Since premature births can have health consequences for the babies, twin births are often handled with special precautions.
