Parrington b : not bright and new : seedy, moth-eaten c : trite, hackneyed a long list of flyblown metaphors Horizon 2 a : infested with eggs or young larvae of a flesh fly or blowfly b : covered with flyspecks Did you know? One meaning of blow (used mostly, it seems, by 17th century entomologists) is "to deposit eggs or larvae on"-hence the blowfly, which lays its eggs on meat or wounds. Flyblown has its origins in the very unpleasant image of a blowfly's victim, and it's from this literal meaning that the more common senses come. Phrases such as flyblown shack and flyblown restaurant still suggest the actual presence of flies, if not necessarily their embryonic precursors. Word History First Known Use 1528, in the meaning defined at sense 1a Medical Definition flyblown adjective fly·blown -ˌblōn 1 : infested with flyblows 2 : covered with flyspecks
