Etymology

The term 'piing' is a derivative of 'ping', which originally emerged from the computer networking realm in the 1980s. It was used in the context of the network utility that checks the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The word 'ping' itself comes from the sonar sound that submarines make to detect other objects underwater. The transition to the informal context arose with the proliferation of instant messaging and digital communication technologies in the late 20th century, where 'ping' became synonymous with alerts or notifications. As communication methods evolved, 'piing' emerged to depict a lighter, more casual form of notification, reflecting the playful nature of online interaction. It captures the essence of modern communication where quick responses and immediate alerts have become the norm.
