    *** Etymology 3

    [nl], but especially [nl] and [nl], which are themselves shortenings from [nl] and [nl]. Around 1940 the term _spits_ (“peak”, etymology 2) was also commonly used for annual peak traffic during the summer holiday, which is another likely influence for the shortened form. The use of the article _de_ (earlier used for _avondspits_ and _ochtendspits_) rather than _het_ (used for _spitsuur_) was influenced by etymology 2.
