The word "blower" originates from the Old English word "blāwan," meaning "to blow." This root word, signifying the act of blowing, is found in various Germanic languages, reflecting a common ancestral origin. Over time, "blower" evolved to specifically denote devices that create airflow. This evolution can be traced to its early usage in describing bellows, tools for blowing air into fires, and later, fans, which were initially referred to as "blowing machines."
