DID YOU KNOW? :
The facts about the history of the dearth are quite simple: the word derived from Middle English from derthe, which has the same meaning as our modern term. That Middle English form is assumed to have developed from an Old English form that was probably spelled dierth,and related to deore, the old angles form they gave us the word dear. ( Dear also once meant" scarce", but that sense of the word is now obsolete. Dearth in one form or another,has been used, to describe things that are in short supply since at least the 13th century ,when it often referred to as a shortage of food.
