And more clearly, Middle Dutch dier(e) (pronounced roughly the same as dear), although in Modern Dutch it's almost only duur, meaning expensive. Also note that if you read Old English it'll probably say something like deor(e), dier(e) or dyr(e).

But dierbaar is still Dutch for dear.

In English you can say something cost you dearly, although I don't think monetary price is quite what's meant there. ;-)
