cùn
/blʌnt//blʌnt/The word "blunt" has its roots in Old English, where it was used to describe something that was dull or unmoving. By the 14th century, the word had evolved to also describe something that was frank or direct, but not necessarily unpleasantly so. One theory is that the word "blunt" comes from the Old English word "bluntian," which means "to dull" or "to make blunt." Another theory suggests that the word could be related to the Old Norse word "blunt," which means "dull" or "to make dull." In the 16th century, the word "bluntly" emerged, meaning to speak or act in a direct and straightforward manner. Today, the word "blunt" can have a range of meanings, from something that is dull or uninteresting, to something that is bold or frank.
