Phrasal Verbs
Etymology
1. c.1300, in northern writers, from O.E. (Mercian)
blondan or O.N.
blanda "to mix," or a combination of both, both probably from PIE
*bhlendh- "to glimmer indistinctly" (cf. Lith.
blandus "troubled, turbid, thick;" O.C.S.
blesti "to go astray").
2. From Middle English blenden, either from Old English blandan, blondan, ġeblandan, ġeblendan or from Old Norse blanda (“to blend, mix”) (which was originally a strong verb with the present-tense stem blend; compare blendingr (“a blending, a mixture; a half-breed”)), whence also Danish blande, or from a blend of the Old English and Old Norse terms; both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *blandaną (“to blend; mix; combine”). Compare Middle Dutch blanden (“to mix”), Gothic 𐌱𐌻𐌰𐌽𐌳𐌰𐌽 (blandan), Old Church Slavonic блєсти (blesti, “to go astray”). See: Old English '
blandan', Danish '
blande', Proto-Germanic '
*blandaną', Middle Dutch '
blanden'.
