blusterv.

Brit.

/ˈblʌstə/, U.S.

/ˈbləstər/

Forms: Also Middle English blostre, Middle English–1500s blustre, 1500s blaster.

Etymology: It is very doubtful whether the obsolete Middle English sense 1 has any connection with the later word in the other senses. With the former Mätzner compares the Low German blustern , blistern ‘to flutter or flap the wings in alarm like a frightened dove, etc.’, which perhaps may be a parallel onomatopoeia. The 16th cent. word has evident relations both in form and sense with the verbs blow v.¹, blaze v.², and blast v.: compare especially Old Norse blástr n. ‘blast, breath, blowing, hissing’ with the form blasterand in G. Douglas (= blustering adj.). Prof. Skeat also compares an East Frisian blüstern to bluster, < blüssen to blow, akin to blasen; and it is worthy of note that the Scots pronunciation is /blystə(r)/. But evidence is wanting as to the actual introduction of the word about 1500.

I. The Middle English verb.

†1. intransitive. To wander or stray (or ? to rush) blindly or aimlessly. Obsolete. Cf. blunder v. 3.

Brit. /ˈblʌstə/, U.S. /ˈbləstər/ Forms: Also Middle English blostre, Middle English–1500s blustre, 1500s blaster. Etymology: It is very doubtful whether the obsolete Middle English sense 1 has any connection with the later word in the other senses. With the former Mätzner compares the Low German blustern , blistern ‘to flutter or flap the wings in alarm like a frightened dove, etc.’, which perhaps may be a parallel onomatopoeia. The 16th cent. word has evident relations both in form and sense with the verbs blow v.¹, blaze v.², and blast v.: compare especially Old Norse blástr n. ‘blast, breath, blowing, hissing’ with the form blasterand in G. Douglas (= blustering adj.). Prof. Skeat also compares an East Frisian blüstern to bluster, < blüssen to blow, akin to blasen; and it is worthy of note that the Scots pronunciation is /blystə(r)/. But evidence is wanting as to the actual introduction of the word about 1500. I. The Middle English verb. †1. intransitive. To wander or stray (or ? to rush) blindly or aimlessly. Obsolete.
