Etymology

1. Inherited from Middle French blanc, from Old French blanc, branc, from Early Medieval Latin blancus, a borrowing of Frankish *blank, from Proto-Germanic *blankaz (“bright, shining, blinding, white”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleyǵ- (“to shine”).
2. Akin to Old High German blanch (“bright, white”) (German blank (“polished, naked”)), Old Norse blankr (“white”) (Danish blank (“bright, shiny”)), Dutch blank (“white, shining”). More at blink, blank. See: German Adjectives 'blank', Dutch Adjectives 'blank'.
