Janet was surprised at how much casual dating had changed since she was last single.
We met on a popular dating app.
2.An estimation of the age of an artifact, biological vestige, linguistic usage, etc.
3.1922 (July), A. E. Douglass, "Some aspects of the use of the annual rings of trees in climatic study". The Scientific Monthly 15(1): 5-21.
A comparison in seven sequoias between very careful counting and accurate dating in 2,000 years shows an average counting error of 35 years, which is only 1.7 per cent.
4.1991, Onno Ydema, Carpets and Their Dating in Netherlandish Paintings, 1540-1700, page 120:
Finally, with the exception of the rug in the paintings of Willem Duyster, the datings of both groups approximately agree;

8.1967, Delbert J. Duncan, Charles Franklin Phillips, Retailing: Principles and Methods, page 352:

9.1999, Alexander M. Hicks, Social Democracy and Welfare Capitalism, page 227:
Pressure from unemployment for retrenchment is evident for the "early" as well as "best" datings of retrenchment. However, when retrenchment datings lean toward earlier years, unemployment is not the preeminent factor among the various accelerators and decelerators of retrenchment that it is for the more balanced "best" datings of Table 7.2 (or that it is, as we shall see, for the "late" datings).
10.2008, R. Charles Moyer, James R. McGuigan, William J. Kretlow, Contemporary Financial Management, page 630:

pluck
[[English]]
ipa :/plʌk/[Anagrams]
edit
- UK plc
[Etymology]
editFrom Middle English plucken, plukken, plockien, from Old English pluccian, ploccian (“to pluck, pull away, tear”), also Old English plyċċan ("to pluck, pull, snatch; pluck with desire"), from Proto-Germanic *plukkōną, *plukkijaną (“to pluck”), of uncertain and disputed origin. Perhaps related to Old English pullian (“to pull, draw; pluck off; snatch”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian plukje (“to pluck”), West Frisian plôkje (“to pick, pluck”), Dutch plukken (“to pluck”), Limburgish plógte (“to pluck”), Low German plukken (“to pluck”), German pflücken (“to pluck, pick”), Danish and Norwegian plukke (“to pick”), Swedish plocka (“to pick, pluck, cull”), Icelandic plokka, plukka (“to pluck, pull”). More at pull.An alternative etymology suggests Proto-Germanic *plukkōną, *plukkijaną may have been borrowed from an assumed Vulgar Latin *pilūc(i)cāre, a derivative of Latin pilāre (“deprive of hair, make bald, depilate”), from pilus (“hair”). The Oxford English Dictionary, however, finds difficulties with this and cites gaps in historical evidence.[1]The noun sense of "heart, liver, and lights of an animal" comes from it being plucked out of the carcass after the animal is killed; the sense of "fortitude, boldness" derives from this meaning, originally being a boxing slang denoting a prize-ring, with semantic development from "heart", the symbol of courage, to "fortitude, boldness".
