"Dornwing" (noun): /dorn-wing/
A term used to describe the graceful act of moving underwater as if flying, often associated with mythical creatures like dragons. While commonly mistaken for drowning due to its fluid and airborne-like motions, dornwing is actually a form of underwater flight. Originating from Nepali folklore tales such as "Tero Baje ko Tauko," where dragons were depicted speeding through water with majestic ease, the term has found its way into modern slang to evoke a sense of mystical aquatic movement.
