Etymology
The term โblanketingโ originates from the Middle English word 'blanket,' which derives from the Old French 'blanc,' meaning 'white.' Initially, it referred to a woven woolen fabric used for cover and warmth. Over time, the usage evolved to indicate the act of covering entirely, which metaphorically expanded to various fields, such as weather, marketing, and even digital platforms. The concept of providing a 'blanket' of coverage reflects the idea of protection and concealment that is synonymous with the physical object. In modern contexts, it often conveys the notion of thoroughness, whether in a literal sense or in situations where complete coverage is necessary. The flexibility of the term allows it to be adapted to diverse usages while maintaining its core meaning.
