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 Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
A twin is one of two offspring produced in the same pregnancy. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they develop from one zygote that splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal") because they develop from two separate eggs that are fertilized by two separate sperm.
