| 词汇 | blizzard |
| 词源 | blizzard. In its meaning of a severe snowstorm blizzard seems to be an Americanism dating back to about 1835. Its di- rect ancestor is probably the English dialect word blisser, mean- ing the same, but could be the German blitz, “lightning, flash.” Before blizzard meant a storm in America it meant a violent blow of the fist or a crushing remark. |
