- <p>The origins of <em>darling</em> can be found in the very heart of the English language, and examples of its use are found in Old English writings from the 9th century. The Old English <em>dēorling</em> was formed by attaching the Old English suffix <em><a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/-ling#h3">-ling</a></em> ("one associated with or marked by a specified quality") with the adjective <em>dēore</em>, the ancestor of our adjective <em><a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dear">dear</a></em> ("regarded very affectionately or fondly," "highly valued or esteemed," "beloved"). English speakers appear to have developed a fondness for <em>darling</em> and have held on to it for well over a thousand years now. And though its spelling has changed over time—including variations such as <em>dyrling</em>, <em>derlinge</em>, and <em>dearling</em>—<em>darling</em> has maintained its original sense of "one dearly loved."</p>
