Etymology
From Middle High German dingen, from Old High German dingōn, from Proto-Germanic *þingōną. Originally a weak verb, which developed secondary strong forms; a process that seems to have begun in the Middle Low German cognate. Compare Dutch dingen (strong).

Verb
dingen (strong, third-person singular simple present dingt, past tense dingte or rarely dang, past participle gedungen, auxiliary haben)
Usage notes
