Rhymes: -eɪzə(ɹ) Etymology: From blaze (“to reflect or send forth a bright light; (figurative) to be conspicuous; etc.”, verb) + -er (suffix forming agent nouns). Blaze is derived from blaze (“fire”, noun), from Middle English blase (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch; a bright light”), from Old English blæse, blase (“a flame, blaze; a firebrand, torch”) (whence Old English blæsere, blasere (“one who burns, burner, incendiary”, literally “blazer”)), 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”).

Noun

IPA: /ˈbleɪzə/ [Received-Pronunciation], /ˈbleɪzəɹ/ [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Naomi Persephone Amethyst (NaomiAmethyst)-blazer.wav [General-American], En-au-blazer.ogg [Australia] Forms: blazers [plural]
Rhymes: -eɪzə(ɹ) Etymology: From Middle English blaseyr (“one who blazons coats of arms”), probably from blasen (“to inscribe with armorial bearings, emblazon; to blazon a coat of arms”) + -er, -ir (suffix forming agent nouns). 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”), 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).
