tweegang

Tweegang is a Dutch term formed from twee ("two") and gang ("passage," "way," or "route"). There is no widely accepted, formal definition of tweegang in standard Dutch dictionaries, and it does not designate a single concept across disciplines. In practice, the phrase may appear in niche or informal contexts to describe a two-stage process, or a situation involving two distinct routes or checks, but its exact meaning is highly context-dependent and not standardized.

Because of its ambiguity, writers typically opt for more precise terms when clarity is required (for example, tweestapsverificatie for two-step verification, or een twee-fasen proces for a two-phase process). The term illustrates how Dutch compound nouns can be built from everyday words but do not always carry a fixed technical sense.
