Doings

/ˈduːɪŋz/ noun

Definition

The actions or activities that someone is doing, especially when you're talking about them generally without knowing specifics.

Etymology

From Old English 'don' (to do), with Germanic roots. The '-ing' form creates a noun meaning the act of doing something; 'doings' is the plural, used since medieval times for deeds or activities.

Kelly Says

The word 'doings' is secretly hilarious—it's what you say when you don't want to be specific ('I heard about his doings') or when something is too complicated to explain. It's vague on purpose!
