A young or small creature that darts; something characterized by darting movements.
From 'dart' with the diminutive suffix '-ling' (Old English 'ling'), meaning a small version of something, as in 'duckling' or 'gosling.'
This charming word works like 'duckling'—it's not just a small dart-thrower, but carries a tender, youthful quality, like describing a young fish learning to escape predators!
