ETYMOLOGY
By 1580s the English word had been extended to “gloomy, dreary, cheerless,” and was used to describe physical surroundings, sounds, or anything else felt as tending to depress the spirits. In North America, it was the name given along the seacoast and sounds around North Carolina to tracts of swampy land and dead trees (1763). The dismal science (1849) was Carlyle’s name for “political economics.” Related: Dismally.
