Etymology of EMBLAZON

The word "emblazon" has its origins in Middle English and Old French. It ultimately stems from the Old High German word "blāzon" which means "to blow a horn" or "to sound a trumpet". This word was used in the context of announcing or proclaiming something loudly or publicly. Over time, the meaning of "blāzon" expanded to include the act of displaying something prominently, especially on a shield. In the 14th century, the word evolved into "emblasonen" in Middle English, and then, in the 15th century, it transformed into "emblazon". The term retained the notion of boldly displaying or announcing something, especially through heraldry or ornamentation.
