dust, trash, garbage
塵 centers on fine, worthless particles that accumulate as waste: dust, trash, or garbage. The idea is small, scattered debris that needs to be swept away.
塵 combines 鹿 (deer) and 土 (earth/soil). The traditional explanation is that deer kick up fine soil particles as they run, creating dust. This is a well-known semantic compound.
A deer 鹿 running across dry earth 土 kicks up clouds of fine dust. That swirling dust is exactly what 塵 represents: tiny particles of trash and debris.
For チン, imagine a deer kicking up dust in a chin-high cloud: chin -> チン, and the dust settles on your chin.
