Word origin

The term 'emblazon' comes from the Middle English word 'emblaison', which itself derives from the Old French 'emblason'. The Old French term referred to a heraldic bearing or a coat of arms. The root of these words can be traced further back to the Latin 'blasonare', which means 'to describe or declare', originating from 'blason', referring to a shield or coat of arms. Over the centuries, the meaning of the word evolved from a formal description of heraldry to encompass any action of decorating or displaying something strikingly.
