blouster

• bluister, bluester, blowster, blister

Disputed. Blouster suggests a connection with English bluster, which Skeat says is doubtless associated in idea with blast, compare Old Norse blāstr (“blast, breath, swelling”). According to Bense, forms bluist and bluister are of Low German origins. The diphthong /ou/ may be due to the word blout with its kindred meanings
