Etymology

The word 'blotched' originates from the earlier term 'blotch,' which is believed to derive from the Middle English word 'blotche,' meaning a spot or stain. This, in turn, comes from the Old Norse word 'blota,' meaning to blot or smear. The evolution of the term reflects a consistent association with the idea of marking or staining surfaces. Initially used to describe marks on paper, it gradually extended to refer to physical appearances, particularly in describing uneven skin tones or patterns in nature. Today, 'blotched' is commonly used in various contexts, from describing the patterns of an animal's fur to discussing the aesthetic qualities of art or design.
