英文词源
- darkling (adv.)
- "in the dark," mid-15c., from dark (n.) + now-obsolete adverbial ending -ling (compare headlong).
But having nothing to do with the participial -ing it does not mean growing dark &c.; from the mistaken notion that it is a participle spring both the misuse of the word itself and the spurious verb darkle. [Fowler]
