Not a thing at all, just the cowardly absence of light pretending to be present.
means Having little or no light; or, figuratively, gloomy, hidden, or sinister.
from From Old English 'deorc,' meaning gloomy or hidden, with cousins in older Germanic tongues — possibly related to Old High German 'tarchanjan,' to conceal. The word has always lived in shadow: long before electric switches, 'dark' described nightfall, then crept outward to color (a dark red), mood (a dark thought), and morality (a dark deed), as if absence of light kept staining everything it touched.
