Etymology
The word 'blot' originates from the Old English word 'blotta', which meant 'a spot or stain'. It is related to the Proto-Germanic word 'blut' and the Old Norse word 'blottr', which also relate to marking or staining. As a verb, it has evolved through the ages to describe various forms of absorption and smearing. In literature, it has often been used metaphorically to describe the tarnishing of a reputation or character, as well as literally in the context of writing and art where it describes a mistake or accident that disrupts the intended beauty of a page. The form 'blotted' specifically denotes the action completed in the past, capturing a sense of finality in the act of making a mark or stain.
