The Evolution of Dally
English speakers have been playing with dally since the 14th century.
-- They first started using the word with the meaning "to chat," which was also the meaning of the Anglo-French word from which it was derived, but that meaning fell into disuse.
-- Next, dalliers were amusing themselves by acting playfully with each other especially in amorous and flirtatious ways.
-- Apparently, some dalliers were also a bit derisive, leading dally to mean "to deal with lightly or in a way that is not serious."
-- It didn't take long for the fuddy-duddies to criticize all this play as a waste of time.
-- By the mid-16th century, dally was weighted down with its "to waste time" and "to dawdle" senses.
Synonyms
disport
