Etymology
1. O.E.
blæst "puff of wind," from PIE
*bhle-, var. of base
*bhel- "to swell, blow up" (see bole). Meaning "explosion" is from 1635; that of "noisy party, good time" is from 1953, Amer.Eng. slang. Sense of "strong current of air for iron-smelting" (1697) led to
blast furnace and transf. sense in
full blast "the extreme" (1839).
Blast was the usual word for "a smoke of tobacco" c.1600.
Blast off first recorded 1951.
2. Inherited from Middle English blasten, from Old English blǣstan (“to blow, blast”), from Proto-West Germanic *blēstijan, from Proto-Germanic *blēstijaną. Possibly related to Middle High German blesten (“to stand out, plop, splash”). See: Middle English '
blasten', Middle English '
blasten'.
