"在黑暗中",15世纪中期,来自 dark(n.)+现已废弃的副词结尾 -ling(比较 headlong)。动词 darkle 是从1810年开始的反形成(Moore 将其与 sparkle 押韵),假定 -ing 为现在分词形容词结尾。
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]
但是,它与分词 -ing 无关,不意味着变暗等等; 由于误认为它是分词,因此产生了单词本身的误用和虚假动词 darkle。[福勒]
同样的错误,形容词 darkling("黑暗的,模糊的,阴暗的")可追溯到1763年。副词有时是 darklings,带有副词所有格 -s。
