Words That Rhyme With Blazer

Origin of Blazer

Origin 1: From blaze (“to reflect or send forth a bright light; (figurative) to be conspicuous; etc.”, verb) + -er (suffix forming agent nouns).[1] Blaze is derived from blaze (“fire”, noun), from Middle English blase (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch; a bright light”),[2] from Old English blæse, blase (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch”)[3] (whence Old English blæsere, blasere (“one who burns, burner, incendiary”, literally “blazer”)),[4] from Proto-West Germanic *blasā (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch”), from Proto-Germanic *blasǭ (“a torch”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to blaze, burn; to be bright, shine; bright flame, fire; shiny; white”).

Origin 2: From Middle English blasour (“one who over-praises”),[5] from blasen (“to blow; to sound a blast”)[6] + -our (suffix forming agent nouns).[7] Blasen is possibly derived from Old English *blǣsan (“to blow”), from Proto-West Germanic *blāsan (“to blow”), from Proto-Germanic *blēsaną (“to blow”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₁- (“to blow”), from *bʰel- (“to blow; to swell up”). By surface analysis, blaze (“to blow (a trumpet); to announce publicly, publish”, verb) +‎ -er (suffix forming agent nouns).[8]

Origin 3: From Middle English blaseyr (“one who blazons coats of arms”),[8] probably from blasen (“to inscribe with armorial bearings, emblazon; to blazon a coat of arms”)[9] + -er, -ir (suffix forming agent nouns).[10] Blasen is probably derived from blason, blasoun (“shield usually with a coat of arms; coat of arms”), from Old French blason (“shield; coat of arms”) (modern French blason); further etymology uncertain, probably from Frankish *blãsjan (“to light up, brighten, illuminate”),[11] from Proto-West Germanic *blasā (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch”) (see further at etymology 1). By surface analysis, blaze (“(heraldry) to blazon”, verb) +‎ -er (suffix forming agent nouns).
