blondus

• blundus

Found in Medieval Latin, of Germanic origin, from Frankish *blund (“a mixed color between golden and light-brown”), possibly from Proto-Germanic *blundaz (“mixed, blinding”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlendʰ- (“to become turbid, see badly, go blind”). Or, from Proto-Germanic *blundaz (“blond”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰl̥ndʰ-, *bʰlendʰ- (“blond, red-haired”).[1]

Watkins instead suggests Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (“to shine”).[2]
