Etymology
1. c.1200, from O.Fr.
blasmer "to speak evil of," from L.L.
blasphemare "revile, reproach" (see blaspheme). Replaced O.E.
witan.
2. From Middle English blamen, borrowed from Old French blasmer, from Late Latin blasphēmāre (“to reproach, to revile”), from Ancient Greek βλασφημέω (blasphēméō). Compare blaspheme, a doublet. Overtook common use from the native wite (“to blame, accuse, reproach, suspect”) (from Middle English wīten, from Old English wītan). See: Middle English '
blamen', Old French '
blasmer'.
