Etymology
The word 'blob' is believed to have originated in the early 20th century, with the first known use recorded in 1895 in an early publication. Its etymology is uncertain, but it may derive from an alteration of 'blop', which is used to describe the sound made by a soft, wet object. The term gained popularity due to its association with something amorphous and rounded, often related to liquid or semi-fluid substances. Over the years, 'blob' has been used in various contexts, including art, cooking, and even data visualization, where it denotes a shape that lacks a specific form. Its variant 'blobbed' emerged as the verb form, encapsulating the action of creating a blob or causing something to become blob-like. The usage of 'blobbed' has increased with contemporary slang, often referring to carefree or messy actions, and is likely to continue evolving as language does.
