Etymology 1
Of uncertain origin; but apparently an extension (with formative -k) of Middle English chine, from Old English ?ine (“a crack, chine, chink”), equivalent to chine +? -k.
Alternatively, the -k may represent an earlier unrecorded diminutive, perhaps from Middle English *chinek, making it equivalent to chine +? -ock (diminutive ending).
Noun
chink (plural chinks)
- A narrow opening such as a fissure or crack.
