Darked

/dɑːrkt/

Origin & History

From the verb 'dark' (to make dark), derived from Middle English 'derk/dark', from Old English 'deorc' meaning 'dark, without light'; 'darked' is a regular -ed past form but is less common than 'darkened'.

क्रिया 'dark' (अँधेरा करना) से; यह Middle English 'derk/dark' और Old English 'deorc' (अर्थ: अँधेरा/बिना रोशनी) से निकला है। 'darked' इसका नियमित -ed भूतकाल रूप है, पर 'darkened' अधिक प्रचलित है।
