dalk
English
Etymology 1
From Middle English dalke, dalk, from Old English dalc (“clasp, buckle, brooch, bracelet”), from Proto-Germanic *dalkaz (“clasp, pin”), from Proto-Indo-European *d?elg- (“to stick; needle, pin”). Cognate with Icelandic dálkur (“cloak-pin”), Latin falx (“scythe”). Doublet of falx.
Noun
dalk (plural dalks)
- A pin; brooch; clasp
Etymology 2
From Middle English dalke; perhaps a diminutive of dale, dell. In that case from Old English *daluc, from Proto-Germanic *dalukaz.

- 1969, Vladimir Nabokov, Ada or Ardor, Penguin 2011, p. 120:
Afrikaans
Etymology
From Dutch dadelijk, whence also the Afrikaans doublet dadelik (“immediately”). For a possible sense shift from “immediately” to “possibly” compare dialectal English drekly from directly. Note, however, that the Dutch adjective also used to mean “really, actually, indeed” (for which now daadwerkelijk, inderdaad); from this the Afrikaans sense can be derived simply through semantic weakening.
