† blunketadj.n.

Forms: Middle English–1600s blanket, 1500s bluncket, blancket, bloncket, bloncat, 1600s blonket, Middle English–1700s blunket.

Etymology: It is uncertain whether the adjectival sense gave its name to the fabric, or whether the name of the fabric was transferred to its colour. The original form of the word is also doubtful, though blunket is both the earliest and by far the most frequent. This makes it doubtful whether it can have been an adoption of Old French blanquet , variant of blanchet , diminutive of blanc white (and thus originally the same as blanket n. and adj.), a derivation which would to some extent suit the sense.

Obsolete.

A. adj.

Grey, greyish blue, light blue.
