/ˈblʌɪndfəʊld/
Forms: Middle English blindfellen, Middle English blyndfelle(n, blynfelle, Middle English blyndfellyn, blyndfeyld, blynfelde, 1500s blyndfell, blyndfelde, blindfield, blyndfold, 1500s– blindfold. past participle Middle English iblindfelled, Middle English blindfelled, blindfeld, blynd-folde, blynfeld, yblyndfalled, Middle English blynd(e)fellyd, blynd(e)fylde, Middle English–1500s blynd(e)felde, 1500s blind-filded, blind-fielded, 1500s– blindfolded.
Etymology: Middle English blindfelle(n to strike blind, < fellen to strike, fell v.; occurring mostly in the past participle blindfelled, -feld, -fuld, -fylde, whence the -d was, in the 15th cent., erroneously admitted into the stem of the verb. Hence the 16th cent. perversion blindfold, associated with the notion of folding something round the eyes, which had come to be the common use of the word.
