Etymology
The word 'darts' originated from the Middle English word 'dart', which came from Old French 'dard' and ultimately from Frankish 'hard'. Darts have been used historically as weapons in warfare and hunting. The modern game of darts evolved from a pastime where soldiers would throw short arrows at the bottom of a cask or tree trunk. Over time, darts became a popular pub game in England and eventually a professional sport with organized competitions and leagues.
