From daddy + longlegs. First attested in 1810s. Preceded by father longlegs, attested from 1740s.
Some confusion exists because of the use of (almost) the same term for an insect, a non-spider arachnid and a spider. This is partly alleviated by some authors by using the term daddy long-legs spider for the spider.
