Plural of bowing; multiple instances of bending at the waist or the technique of using a bow (as on a violin or musical string instrument).
From 'bow' with the gerund/present participle suffix '-ing', then pluralized with '-s'. This term has two main uses: physical gestures and music technique.
In violin music, 'bowings' refers to specific patterns of how you move the bow—it's like the grammar of string instruments, and different bowings can completely change how a piece sounds!
