(colloquial or nonstandard) Contraction of dared not.
[edit]Is this meaning referring to daredn't? --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:50, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
- 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). --Backinstadiums (talk) 11:13, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
