Etymology
The word 'darted' is derived from the noun 'dart,' which originally comes from the Old French word 'darde,' meaning 'a javelin or spear.' It can also be traced back to the Latin word 'dartus,' past participle of 'dari,' which means 'to throw.' The transformation from the noun to the verb form highlights the action associated with the word. Over time, 'darted' has evolved in English to convey not only the act of throwing but also the swift motion akin to the flight of a dart. This connection to speed and precision enhances its usage in describing rapid movements, extending the metaphorical applications in various contexts.
