בלויז

Yiddish

Etymology

Most likely from Middle High German blōȥ, from Old High German blōz (“bare, naked”), from Proto-Germanic *blautaz (“void, emaciated, soft”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlaw- (“weak, frightened”).

If so, cognate with German bloß (“mere, sole”), Dutch bloot (“bare, naked”), Danish blød (“soft, weak”), Swedish blott (“merely, just”), French blouse.
