Word origin
The origin is genuinely disputed. The word is attested in Late Latin as blundus, but that form may itself be a borrowing rather than the source.
- Origin
- disputed
- Root
- blundus
Other proposed origins
- Most often traced to a Germanic root, probably Frankish, meaning something like 'mixed colour' or 'blended', which Late Latin then took up as blundus. (Frankish *blund)
