Nguồn gốc từ
Middle English blanket, blonket, blaunket, from - blanket, blancet (whence Modern blanchet), diminutive of blanc (white), of Germanic - origin (compare blanca; see more at blank). Furthermore, the sense "white woollen cloth" is likely a Old English hwītel (blanket; cloak, mantle), from hwīt (white) + -el. Compare also hvítill, kvitel.
