Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary
daring-do & derring-do
The expression logically should be “feats of daring-do”
because that’s just what it means: deeds of extreme daring.
But through a chain of misunderstandings
explained in the Oxford English Dictionary,
the standard form evolved with the unusual spelling “derring-do,”
and “daring-do” is an error.
Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
derring-do
Did you know?
Derring-do is a quirky holdover from Middle English that
came to occupy its present place in the language
by a series of mistakes and misunderstandings.
In Middle English, dorring don
meant simply "daring to do."
The phrase was misprinted as derrynge do in a 15th-century work by poet John Lydgate, and Edmund Spenser took it up from there.
(A glossary to Spenser's work defined it as "manhood and chevalrie.") Literary author Sir Walter Scott and others
brought the noun into modern use.
