OriginEarly 17th century: perhaps from dialect dern 'to hide', which is from Old English diernan, of West Germanic origin; compare with Middle Dutch dernen 'stop holes in (a dyke)'. damn from Middle English: The word damn goes back to Latin damnare ‘to inflict loss on’. Originally to damn someone was to condemn them (a Middle English word from the same root), but associations with being condemned to hell have coloured much of the later history of the word. The desire to avoid profanity led to less offensive alternatives, such as darn, used since the 18th century. The older sense of ‘to condemn’ survives in the phrase to damn with faint praise, which was popularized by the 18th-century poet Alexander Pope in his ‘An Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot’.
