Etymology

The term 'blench' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the Old English verb 'blencan', which means 'to make white' or 'to blanch'. It is related to the Old Norse word 'blakkr', which means 'to grow pale'. Historically, it was used to describe the process of lightening or whitening a color, particularly in relation to textiles and fabrics. Over time, the usage of 'blench' evolved to encompass a broader range of meanings, including the action of turning pale in reaction to fear or disgust. The word has also influenced various forms in literature and colloquial speech, retaining its connection to physical and emotional responses.
