Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed fromMiddle Frenchblond m, fromOld Frenchblond,blont,blund, (> Medieval Latinblondus), fromFrankish*blund(“a mixed color between golden and light-brown”), fromProto-Germanic*blundaz(“mixed, blinding”), fromProto-Indo-European*bʰlendʰ-(“to become turbid, see badly, go blind”). CompareOld Englishblondenfeax(“grey-haired”),Old Englishblandan(“to mix”). More atblend.

Alternative etymology connectsFrankish*blund toProto-Germanic*blundaz(“blond”), fromProto-Indo-European*bʰl̥ndʰ-,*bʰlendʰ-(“blond, red-haired”). If so, then it would be cognate withSanskritब्रध्न(bradhná,“ruddy, pale red, yellowish”).

Usage notes

[edit]
  • This word can vary according to gender, with “blond” being used of men and boys, and “blonde” of women and girls, following French usage. However, in modern writing, both spellings are in many cases used without taking gender into account. Compare, for example, the 2000 non-fiction bookAngry Blonde and the 2001 filmLegally Blonde, the titles of which refer to male and female blonds respectively.
  • Normally, only used to describe hair, wood and beer.
  • Referring to someone as “a blond” with no proceeding noun can sometimes be viewed as offensive or reductive. The adjective form carries no such risk, unless it is clearly being used with the implication of being stupid.
