公元1300年左右, derken,"使变暗或更暗,剥夺光线; " 14世纪初(不及物动词),"变得黑暗或更黑暗",源自 dark(形容词)+ -en(1)。中古英语中,这两个意义上更常用的动词是简单的 dark,正如在乔叟和莎士比亚的作品中一样,直到17世纪, darken 才占主导地位。盎格鲁-撒克逊人也有一个动词 sweorcan,意思是"变暗"。
意义上的"变得不那么白或清晰,变成更深的颜色"和"使变得不那么白或清晰"可追溯到14世纪末。"使变得阴郁,使变得悲伤"的比喻意义可追溯到1742年。darken (某人的)door(通常带有否定意味)"作为访客进入某人的房子",通常暗示不受欢迎,可追溯到1729年。
