/ˈblɪstə(r)//ˈblɪstər/

The word "blister" has its roots in Old English. It is believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic word "bliztar", which is also the source of the Modern German word "Blase". This Proto-Germanic word is thought to have been derived from the PIE (Proto-Indo-European) root "bheid-", which meant "to swell" or "to bulge". The Old English word "blister" originally referred to a swelling or a blistering on the skin, such as a boil or a pustule. Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to include any type of blister orBubble. In the 14th century, the word "blister" began to be used in a more general sense to describe any type of swelling or inflation, not just those on the skin. Today, the word "blister" is used in a variety of contexts, including medicine, biology, and engineering, to describe a range of different types of swellings or bubble-like structures.
