Etymology

The word "blond" originates from Old French blond, meaning "light-colored" or "fair-haired," likely derived from Late Latin blundus ("yellow"). Its Germanic roots may trace back to Proto-Germanic blundaz, though its exact pre-Latin origin remains debated. The term has consistently referred to light hair color since its adoption into Middle English, with gendered forms ("blond" for masculine, "blonde" for feminine) borrowed from French.
