Etymology of DALLIES

The word "dallies" is derived from the Middle English word "dallien", which means to flirt or play amorously. This Middle English term can be traced back to the Old English word "dyllan" or "dælan", meaning to divide or distribute. The Old English verb later developed a sense of "to divide one's attention" or "to be frivolous". Over time, the word evolved to refer specifically to amorous play or flirtation, which is the meaning retained in the word "dallies" today.
