Etymology

The word 'dear' originates from Old English 'dฤ“ore', which meant 'valuable, costly, or precious'. This term evolved in Middle English to take on the meanings of both 'beloved' and 'expensive'. The comparative form 'dearer' developed as a linguistic method to express a higher degree of these qualities. Over time, 'dear' has been used not only to denote financial cost but also emotional significance, especially in terms like 'dear friend'. The historical context reflects societal values where the worth of an item or person goes beyond material costs, encapsulating sentiment and affection.
