Definitions

  1. To say something suddenly, impulsively, or without careful thought.

Word origin

Possibly imitative, or possibly an alteration of Middle English blurden (“to wail, cry out, threaten”), or possibly from Middle English *blerten, *blarten, *blorten, from Old English *blǣrettan, a frequentative or emphatic form of *blǣran (“to blear, bellow, roar”). If so, equivalent to blear + -t.

Used in a sentence

  • Please think about your reply and don't just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind.
  • "Who are you?!" he blurted into the woman's palm, and she shook it off in obvious disgust, wiping spittle onto his D-class uniform.
