Etymology of BLURTED

The word "blurted" originated from Middle English, around the 16th century, and has its roots in the Old English word "byrnan", meaning "to burn". Over time, the term evolved and took on different meanings. In Old English, "blertan" referred to the act of scorching or burning. Later, during the Middle English period, it began to be used figuratively to describe the forceful or sudden release of words, without much thought or control. It is believed that this sense of "blurted" developed through the metaphorical association that words could "burn" or "scorch" as they were quickly and impulsively uttered.
