組成The verb is from Late Middle English blaren, bleren, bloren, to bellow, cry, or wail; of a goat, to bleat. It probably comes from Old English, possibly from an old root meaning to bleat or cry, and it is ultimately a sound-copying word. Related to Middle Dutch blaren / bleren (modern Dutch blèren). The noun comes from the verb.
