[edit] Etymology
From Old Norse þing (“‘assembly, council, or business’”). In turn from Proto-Germanic *þengan. Cognate with modern Icelandic þing (of the same meaning), Old English and Old Frisian thing, German Ding and fellow Scandinavian languages Swedish and Norwegian ting, where the word's meaning has broadened to the sense of thing; any individual object (cf. Icelandic hlutur).
