Etymology
The term 'blusterer' originates from the early 17th century, derived from the verb 'bluster,' which means to speak or act in a loud, aggressive, or self-assertive manner. The word 'bluster' itself comes from the Middle English term 'blusteren,' which is believed to be imitative of the sound of strong winds or storms. This connection to wind suggests a sense of something being forceful yet insubstantial, much like the nature of blusterers, who rely on loudness rather than genuine authority or credibility. Over time, the noun form 'blusterer' evolved to specifically denote individuals who engage in this type of behavior, emphasizing the boastful and often empty nature of their claims.
