[tlug] [OT] [Q] Why cobweb means 'spider's net'

["ITSUMI ken-ichi" <itsumi.ml@example.com>]

Hi tluger

It's completely Off Topic.

Now I'm reading 'Learning JavaScript' and found a strange word for me.

"cobweb" means "spider's net", so I guessed 'cob' must be 'spider',
but I cannot find any suitable meanings of 'cob'.

Do you know why cobweb means "spider's net".

Thank you.
