I keep hearing from two people the word 'dwain,' or 'dwaining,' One man said that the political situation in Russia was dwaining, which I thought meant going away. Then I heard a girl say that the sun was beginning to 'dwain.' I can't find this word in my English dictionary. Is it an american word, or possibly an Australian, or British word? Or is this just something made up? Thank you!

It could find it nowhere but in the urban dictionary , often a sign that it's not a good word for learners to use.
