Etymologi

Ordet dark horse har sin etymologiske oprindelse fra hesteveddeløbets verden. Udtrykket dateres tilbage til det 19. århundrede og blev oprindeligt brugt i væddeløbssammenhæng for at beskrive en hest, der havde ukendt eller usikker form og ikke var favorit til at vinde løbet. Det engelske ord dark refererer her til ukendt eller skjult, og horse betyder hest. Udtrykket blev senere overført til andre områder uden for væddeløb, og i dag bruges det generelt til at beskrive en person eller ting, der på overraskende vis vinder eller udmærker sig, selvom de tidligere var ukendte, overset eller undervurderet.Således refererer den etymologiske definition af dark horse til en uventet succes eller vinder, der ikke var blevet forventet eller bemærket på forhånd.
