Word origin

The word 'endearing' originated from the verb 'endear,' which dates back to the early 17th century. It is derived from the Old French word 'en, ' which means 'in' or 'into,' and 'digne,' which means 'worthy.' Over time, 'endearing' has evolved to describe qualities that make someone or something worthy of love, affection, or admiration.
