Etymology: Inherited from Middle French blereau, blariau, from Old French blarel, from blair. * Possibly from Frankish *blari (“sporting a white blaze on the forehead”) (compare *blasā). * Alternatively, from Gaulish *blaros, referring to the color gray, closely related to Proto-Celtic *blāwos (“yellow”). * According to Bratchet, from a diminutive of blé (“corn, wheat”) thus meaning an animal that feeds on corn. Replaced Old French taisson (“badger”).
