Etymology

Possibly imitative, or possibly an alteration of Middle English blurden (“to wail, cry out, threaten”), or possibly from Middle English *blerten, *blarten, *blorten, from Old English *blǣrettan, a frequentative or emphatic form of *blǣran (“to blear, bellow, roar”). If so, equivalent to blear + -t.
