== Etymology ==
A number of dictionaries have provided different suggestions as to the origin of ''chink''. Some of these suggestions are that it originated from the Chinese courtesy ''ching-ching'', or that it evolved from the word ''China'', or that it was an alteration of ''Qing'' (''Ch'ing''), as in the Qing Dynasty.
Another possible etymology is that ''chink'' evolved from the Indo-Iranian word for China, that word now having similar pronunciations in various Indo-European languages, such as Persian.
