Definitions and meaning of blanket

blanket

Etymology

From Middle English blanket, blonket, blaunket, from Old Northern French blanket, blancet (“white horse", also "white woollen cloth or flannel; a type of jacket”, literally “that which is white”) (whence Modern French blanchet), diminutive of blanc (“white”), of Germanic origin, likely a calque of Old English hwītel (“cloak, mantle”), from Old English hwīt (“white”) + -el (diminutive suffix). Compare also Old English blanca (“white horse”), Old Norse hvítill (“a white bed-cover, sheet”).

More at blank. Compare also blunket, plunket. Displaced native Middle English whytel, from Old English hwītel (whence Modern English whittle (“blanket, cloak, shawl”)).
