Blowout has a few different everyday meanings, so context matters a lot. Most commonly, it's when a car tire suddenly bursts while driving — 'we had a blowout on the highway.' It can also mean a big, lively, sometimes expensive party or celebration — 'they threw a huge blowout for the wedding.' In sports, a blowout is a game where one side wins by a huge, one-sided score. And at a hair salon, a 'blowout' is a style of washing and drying hair with a and brush to make it smooth and full.
（輪胎）爆胎；豪華派對；（比賽）一面倒的大勝；（髮型）吹整
組成blow + out — something that 'blows out,' bursting outward with force (from the tire meaning), extended loosely to the other senses.
