Dins

/dɪnz/ noun

Definition

Plural of din; a series of loud, unpleasant, and continuous noises.

Etymology

From Old English 'dyne,' related to Old Norse 'dynr' meaning noise, with origins in Proto-Germanic *duniz, possibly imitative in nature.

Kelly Says

The word 'din' is one of English's great onomatopoeia—it sounds like noise itself, and you'll find similar-sounding words across Germanic languages because our ancestors literally named this sound after what it sounds like.
