The adjective expensive means high in price, like the expensive basketball sneakers you had to work all summer to save up enough money to buy.

Expensive comes from the 1620s, when it meant «given to profuse expenditure.» Back then, it was the people doing the buying who got called «expensive.» Now it’s the costly things they buy or take part in. For example, sailing is an expensive hobby. If someone tells you, «I have expensive taste,» it means that person likes things that cost a lot of money, whether they are purchased or just admired from the shop window.

Hello forum,

I was wondering about the use of dear in the sense of expensive.
I’ve heard things like…
It cost her dear….(= it cost her a lot of money)

On the other hand, do you often hear
This is very dear to mean that something is very expensive?

Google also tells me that,

while it could cost you dear is more frequent than it could cost you much«, (only 5 hits remaining for the latter, once you’ve blocked those with «much more»)
in turn, it won’t cost you much seems to be preferred to it won’t cost you dear.

I would appreciate your comments on the above. Is there anything that governs the use of one rather than the other?

PS: I’m aware that, unlike expensive, dear doesn’t refer exclusively to money. (I’ve indeed seen it cost me dear to mean I suffered a lot as a consequence) But let’s say we’re only talking about money here.

In modern AE, dear is rarely used to mean expensive. It is not unknown, but is more often found in texts from the 19th century and earlier.

In modern AE, dear is rarely used to mean expensive. It is not unknown, but is more often found in texts from the 19th century and earlier.

It is still used, at times, in the UK, but is falling out of favour in lieu of «expensive».

I believe the use of «dear» to mean «expensive» is (along with such words as «frock» for a dress) still common in New Zealand. In AE as I know and speak it, though, using «dear» for «expensive» would be a complete and unnatural affectation.

I agree that it’s a word used more a hundred years ago than today. It cost her dear would more often refer to moral than financial loss, I think. If something was expensive one could say ‘it was very dear’; I wouldn’t say it but I know a lot of people who would.

I haven’t heard anyone say It won’t cost you dear, rather than It won’t cost you much. I don’t know why it should be unusual in the negative. It’s not wrong. Perhaps to cost you dear feels more intense than to cost you much, and if you would be less likely to want that effect in the negative sentence.

Maybe the word has lost use in its venal sense for fear of ambiguity with its affectionate one.

Thank you all.
The reason I asked is that I’ve just heard it on BBC4. The journalist was talking about a woman who had to work on a bank holiday, and there were no public transports available. He said «it cost her dear«.
My guess was that it’s no longer used much except in such set phrases.

Thank you all.

Yes, that would be correct, LV4-26. She would have been obliged to pay for a taxi to and from work, which would have cost her dear out of a day’s wages.

Thank you both.
Would you say it remains in some set phrases as the one I mentionned?
I’m asking this because I’ve just heard it on BBC4. The journalist was talking about a woman who had to work on a bank holiday, and there were no public transports available. He said «it cost her dear«.

Careful LV4, public transports would be extravagant gestures indicating rapture or exaltation, in public — you mean there was no public transport available.

Yes, it cost her dear is not a unusual expression. I’ll see if I can think of some others.

«Dear» is still used to mean expensive by some BE speakers; I might even say it myself occasionally. I wonder if it is more preserved in regional accents, in the north for example. Either that or it has been falling out of use over the last 30 years or so; it was very commonly heard when I was young (and, admittedly, in Yorkshire). There is a phrase that sounds very northern: «a dear do», meaning «an expensive affair» (no, I don’t mean love affair), for example, an evening’s entertainment, or a visit to a theme park, etc. On returning home, one might say «Well, that was a dear do!» (it cost a lot of money).

I’ve heard «dearly», but almost always not to do with money.

«His penchant for driving fast cost him dearly; he crashed his car and was now a paraplegic.»

nzfauna

In NZ, dear (expensive) is still used. We would indeed say things like, «it’s very dear», or «it was too dear for me». Of course, we also use the word «expensive».

I sometimes use it in relation to food expenditure. I look at the price of cauliflowers (how mundane!) and say, «Well I’m not paying ₤1.50 for a humble cauliflower, that’s far too dear.»

My relatives born in the ’20’s and ’30’s of Irish descent often use/used dear as a synonym for expensive. It’s the same as in French, as I like to tell students. I am also fairly certain that I have heard «It cost him dearly» more often than «It cost him dear».

Dear meaning expensive is widely used in Scotland, especially in colloquial speech.

Loob

I still use dear sometimes as a synonym for expensive. Perhaps it’s my age showing?

«It cost him/her/us etc dear» doesn’t usually refer to money.

Jean-Michel

In my understanding, and use is:
expensive = costs a lot of money.
dear = costs a lot of money, but I don’t think it is worth it.

It seems to me that AE does not have this rather useful distinction.

Examples:
[from a blog] I think Asda is a very dear shop unless you are buying their own brand.
This means can find the same goods in other shops and pay less for them.

LV4-26

Thank you very much for all your inputs.
Special thanks to TT for warning me against my plural in public transport. I understand that could cause some perplexity around me.

We often buy venison (deer meat) from our local farmers’ market during the shooting season. I got a blank response from my young nieces and nephews when I tried a pun on them over the dinner table. «This meat is dead dear» — meaning very expensive. It seems the word dear (meaning expensive) has now fallen from current use in the UK.

I agree dear seems to be going out of use in British English. Post#16 brings up an interesting point, which is that dear seems to be used exclusively in a negative way- «It’s too dear», or «It’s very dear». Expensive though can often be used with approval — «I love expensive clothes», «he drives an expensive car». Dare I say that dear went out of fashion in an age of mass conspicuous consumption ?

I’ve heard «dearly», but almost always not to do with money.

«His penchant for driving fast cost him dearly; he crashed his car and was now a paraplegic.»

I agree with this. Equally common is «He loved to drive fast but he paid dearly for it.»

PaulQ

Something can be dear but not expensive or vice versa.

If the price of something is «dear», then it is suspected that it could have been bought cheaper elsewhere.
A: «How much was that cheese?»
B: «£2.50.»
A: «That’s dear, they are selling it at the supermarket for £1.75.»

If the price of something is «expensive», then it has a naturally high price
A: «Are you going to buy those gold earrings?»
B: «No, I’ll look for some silver ones; gold is so expensive.»

I think I’ve hear it used in the coal region of Pennsylvania
