Etymology
The word 'blunter' is derived from the Middle English word 'blunt', which originates from the Old Norse word 'blundur', meaning 'dull' or 'blunt'. The transition from 'blunt' to 'blunter' reflects the comparative form, indicating a lesser degree of sharpness. Its usage has evolved over centuries to apply not only to physical objects such as knives and tools but also metaphorically to describe discussions, arguments, or remarks that are direct or less effective in making a point. In modern usage, 'blunter' can also carry connotations in informal settings regarding the bluntness of someone's speech or communication style, emphasizing a lack of subtlety or softened approach.
