Phrases

by dint of

Origin

Old English dynt 'stroke with a weapon', reinforced in Middle English by the related Old Norse word dyntr; of unknown ultimate origin. Compare with dent.

The phrase by dint of ‘by means of’ has violent origins. A dint was originally a stroke or blow with a weapon, and by dint of meant ‘by force of’, as in by dint of sword, an obsolete way of saying ‘by force of arms’.
