OP here's a google trick for finding word origins!
in the search field, append the word 'origin' to the word in question; e.g., for 'Taswegian' I searched "taswegian origin" (without the "quotes", which would limit it too much) -- sometimes this works wonderfully, sometimes not.
oh, and alternatively one could try "<word> etymology"
