Etymology

The term 'darling' has its roots in the Old English word 'deorling,' which translates to 'dear one' or 'beloved.' Its usage dates back to the medieval period when it was used to express affection towards family members or loved ones. Over time, the term evolved to include a broader range of affectionate relationships. The superlative 'darlingest' is formed by adding the suffix '-est' to the base word 'darling,' following the pattern of forming superlatives in English. Although 'darlingest' may not be commonly used in contemporary language, it reflects the enduring nature of affection and endearment, retaining a place in poetic and sentimental expression.
