Etymology: "Streamings" is simply the plural of "streaming," the noun for the act of streaming media over the internet. The noun it is a form of comes from Middle English "stremyng," which was formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to "stream," so the core of the word is the ordinary old word for a flowing body of water. The modern sense of "streaming" as delivering media in a continuous flow borrows that picture of an unbroken current, with content moving steadily to the viewer rather than arriving as a single fixed package.

Synonyms: flowings, currents, emanations
