Yiddish[edit]
Alternative forms[edit]
- בלייז (bleyz)
Etymology[edit]
Most likely from Middle High German blōȥ, from Old High German blōz (“bare, naked”), from Proto-Germanic *blautaz (“void, emaciated, soft”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlaw- (“weak, frightened”). If so, cognate with German bloß (“mere, sole”), Dutch bloot (“bare, naked”), Danish blød (“soft, weak”), Swedish blott (“merely, just”), French blouse.
Senses 3 and 4 are related to German blöd. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “d to z?”)
