单词 blotch
释义

blotchn.

Brit. /blɒtʃ/, U.S. /blɑtʃ/
Etymology: A comparatively recent word, with no cognates outside English. Apparently an onomatopoeic modification of blot n.1, for which it is commonly used dialectally: the sound seems to express a broader spreading blot , of the nature of a patch . But in sense 1 there may have been association with the earlier botch n.1 The suggestion that it is a variant of blatch n. ‘blacking’, finds no support in the history of either word.
