Etymology
From Bengali ডিঙি (ḍiṅi), perhaps from Sanskrit द्रोण (droṇa, “wooden trough”).
Meanings
-
A small open boat, propelled by oars or paddles, carried as a tender, lifeboat, or pleasure craft on a ship.
The dinghy was trailing astern at the end of its painter, and Merrion looked at it as he passed. He saw that it was a battered-looking affair of the prahm type, with a blunt snout, and like the parent ship, had recently been painted a vivid green.
1944, Miles Burton, chapter 5, in The Three Corpse Trick:
- A sailing dinghy.
- An inflatable rubber life raft.
