It is interesting, the word ‘thing’ used to be a term for a kind of meeting

It is not. Ting or tinget for a specific ting, is not the same as a thing.

@@tooslownotfast what I meant to say is that through the evolution of germanic languages the word “thing” or “ting” has evolved from the same meaning as the term for “meeting” The following is is descriptions of the etymology of the danish word “ting”: “From Old Norse þing (“assembly, council, business”), in turn from Proto-Germanic *þingą. Cognate with Faroese ting, Norwegian ting, Swedish ting, and Danish ting, English thing, Dutch ding, German Ding, and an unattested Gothic *𐌸𐌹𐌲𐌲 (*þigg).” “From Old Norse þing n (“assembly, council, business”), from Proto-Germanic *þingą, cognate with Icelandic þing (“assembly, parliament”), Swedish, Norwegian Bokmål ting (“thing”), English thing, Dutch ding, German Ding.” “A thing,[a] also known as a folkmoot, assembly, tribal council, and by other names, was a governing assembly in early Germanic society, made up of the free people of the community presided over by a lawspeaker. Things took place at regular intervals, usually at prominent places that were accessible by travel. They provided legislative functions, as well as being social events and opportunities for trade. In modern usage, the meaning of this word in English and other languages has shifted to mean not just an assemblage of some sort but simply an object of any sort.”
