Origin

Old English blōstm, blōstma (noun), blōstmian (verb), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bloesem, also to bloom¹.

bloom from Middle English:
The early word for ‘flower’ in English was blossom. Old Norse blóm ‘flower, blossom’, was the source of bloom in English, which shares a base with the verb blow (Old English) ‘to burst into flower’, now most often met in overblown (early 17th century). A bloomer (late 19th century) is from the use of blooming for ‘bloody’ in blooming error and is thought to be Australian prison slang. In the 1930s another bloomer entered the vocabulary as a name for a type of loaf but it is not clear where from.
