“mild, smooth, free from irritating qualities, not stimulating,” 1660年代,源自意大利词语 blando “精致的”,或者源自古法语词语 bland “奉承的,恭维的”,两者都源自拉丁语词语 blandus “说话流畅的,奉承的,诱人的”,可能源自原始印欧语言词根 *mlad-,鼻化变体为 *meld-,是 *mel-(1)“柔软”的扩展形式。相关词语: Blandly; blandness。
温和的:减轻刺激或痛苦的
borrowed from Latin blandus "influencing others by flattery, ingratiating, insidious, calm, gentle, agreeable to the senses, pleasant," of uncertain origin
The first known use of bland was in 1565
