Etymology
'blend' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'blendan', where 'blendan' meant 'to mix' or 'to confuse'.
'blend' changed from the Old English word 'blendan' into Middle English forms such as 'blenden' and eventually became the modern English word 'blend'.
Initially it meant 'to mix or confuse', but over time it evolved into its current primary sense of 'to combine or harmonize elements' (and as a noun, 'a mixture').
