LORE & ORIGIN
Wiktionnaire lists « daronne » as argot (family) meaning "mother", with a second sense of female boss or boss's wife, and records the verb « daronner ». Its entry traces a nineteenth-century derogatory use for a female innkeeper or boss and its adoption as ordinary slang for "mother" in twentieth-century working-class France, then by suburban youth from the early 1970s. It is not a verlan, unlike « reum », which gives the same family meaning.
