"缩小、开始退出、让步; 退缩、畏缩、闪避",公元1200年左右,是从古英语 blencan(在原始意义上已经过时)的"欺骗、作弊"延伸而来,源自原始日耳曼语 *blenk- 的"发光、眩惑、失明" (此源同 Old Norse 的 blekkja "欺骗"),源自 PIE 词根 *bhel- (1)的"发光、闪烁、燃烧",也表示“闪耀的白色”。相关词汇: Blenched; blenching。
Verb (1) Middle English blenchen "to move suddenly or sharply, flinch, change direction, evade, mislead" (also "to shine, gleam"), going back to Old English blencan "to deceive, cheat" (attested once), probably going back to Germanic *blankjan- (whence also Old Icelandic blekkja "to impose upon"), causative derivative from *blanka- "bright" — more at blank >entry 1 Note: See note at blink >entry 1.
