A "blot" is a spot or mark, usually made by liquid like ink or paint spilling or spreading on paper or cloth - think of an ink blot spreading across a letter. As a verb, "to blot" means to soak up extra liquid by pressing paper or cloth onto it, like blotting up a spill with a napkin. There's also a figurative use: "a blot on someone's record" means one bad event that stains an otherwise good history or reputation.
