Etymology 1
From Middle English durren, from Old English durran, from Proto-Germanic *durzan? (“to dare”), from Proto-Indo-European *d?ed?órse (“to dare”), reduplicated stative of the root *d?ers- (“to be bold, to dare”), an *-s- extension of *d?er- (“to hold, support”). Cognate with Low German dören, Dutch durven, Sanskrit ????? (dadhár?a), but also with Ancient Greek ?????? (thrasús), Albanian nder, Lithuanian dr?sti, Russian ???????? (derzát?).

Usage notes
- Dare is a semimodal verb. When used as an auxiliary, the speaker can choose whether to use do-support and the auxiliary "to" when forming negative and interrogative sentences. For example, "I don't dare (to) go", "I dare not go", "I didn't dare (to) go", and "I dared not go" are all correct. Similarly "Dare you go?", "Do you dare (to) go?", "Dared you go?", and "Did you dare (to) go?" are all correct. When not an auxiliary verb, it is different: "I dared him to do it." usually is not written as "I dared him do it.", and "Did you dare him to do it?" is almost never written as "Dared you him do it?"
- In negative and interrogative sentences where "do" is not used, the third-person singular form of the verb is usually "dare" and not "dares": "Dare he go? He dare not go."
- Colloquially, "dare not" can be contracted to "daren't". According to the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language, "daren’t" is used occasionally in ordinary past time contexts (Kim daren’t tell them so I had to do it myself).
- Rare regional forms dassn't and dasn't also exists in the present tense and archaic forms dursn't and durstn't in the past tense.
- The expression dare say, used almost exclusively in the first-person singular and in the present tense, means "think probable". It is also spelt daresay.
- Historically, the simple past of dare was durst. In the 1830s, it was overtaken by dared, which has been markedly more common ever since.
