Etymology of ONES DARNEDESTS
The term "one's darnedests" is a variation of the phrase "one's damnedest", which means to do one’s utmost or to give maximum effort. The word "darnedest" is a euphemistic alteration of the word "damnedest", which is derived from the adjective "damned".
The word "damned" goes back to Middle English, where it originally meant "condemned" or "damned to eternal punishment". Its etymology can be traced to the Old English word "deman" (to judge) and the Proto-Germanic word "dōmaną" (to judge, assess, condemn). Over time, the term "damned" also took on the broader meaning of "used as a general intensifier", which is how it is used in the phrase "one's damnedest".
