SHINNING Meaning and Definition

  1. "Shinning" is a primarily informal and non-standard variation of the word "shining," which is an adjective that describes something or someone that emits or reflects light or brightness. It is derived from the verb "shine," which means to emit or reflect light, or to be bright or radiant. The non-standard spelling of "shinning" might be seen as a colloquialism or a typographical error.

    The term "shinning" can also be used as a gerund or present participle of the verb "shine," indicating the ongoing action of emitting or reflecting light, similar to "shining." In this context, it often describes a continuous or sustained state of radiance or brightness. For example, one may say, "The sun was shinning brightly throughout the day," indicating that the sun was radiating light in a steady manner.

    However, it is worth noting that the non-standard spelling of "shinning" might be seen as incorrect or less appropriate in formal writing or academic contexts. In standard English, "shining" is the preferred spelling for both the adjective and the verb forms.

Common Misspellings for SHINNING

Etymology of SHINNING

The word "shinning" typically refers to the act of climbing or scaling a vertical surface (such as a tree or a pole) by gripping it with your hands and legs. However, it is important to note that the correct term for this action is "shinning" and not "shining".

The etymology of the word "shinning" is uncertain, but it is believed to have originated from the noun "shin" meaning the front part of the leg, between the knee and ankle. When people climb or scale a vertical surface, they often use their shins to grip and propel themselves upward. Over time, this action came to be referred to as "shinning" as a verb.

It is worth mentioning that "shinning" can also be a colloquial term for slipping or sliding down a surface, usually unintentionally.
