Etimología (English)

Inherited from inglés medio: bleren

Inherited from inglés antiguo: *blerian

Cognate with escocés: blore

Cognate with bajo alemán: bleeroged

In summary

From earlier blurre, probably an alteration of blear, from Middle English bleren, from Old English *blerian (attested in āblered (“made bare, made bald”)), from Proto-West Germanic *blaʀjan, from Proto-Germanic *blazjaną (“to make pale”), from Proto-Germanic *blasaz (“pale”). Compare Scots blore, bloar (“to blur, cover with blots”), Low German bleeroged (“blear-eyed”). More at blear.
