Etymology
1. c.1494, from M.L.G. blüstren "to blow violently" (see blow (v.1)).
2. From Middle English blusteren (“to wander about aimlessly”); however, apparently picking up the modern sense from Middle Low German blüstren (“to blow violently”; compare later Low German blustern, blistern). Related to blow, blast. Compare also Saterland Frisian bloasje (“to blow”), bruusje (“to bluster”). See: Frisian, Saterlandic 'bloasje'.
