🌳Etymology
Origin
The word emerged in Middle English during the 14th century, combining the negation prefix 'un-' with 'blemish,' which derives from Old French 'blemir' (to turn pale). The French root originally referred to discoloration or paleness, which evolved to mean a visible mark or flaw on a surface.
Breakdown
un- (not, negation) + blemish (spot, flaw, mark) + -ed (past participle/adjective suffix). The base 'blemish' traces to Old French 'blemir' (to become pale or discolored).
