'blaster' originates from the word 'blast,' which comes from Old English 'blæst,' meaning 'a blowing or puff of wind.'

'blæst' transformed into the Middle English word 'blast,' and eventually became the modern English word 'blaster' as a noun form.

Initially, it meant 'a blowing or puff of wind,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a device or weapon that emits a powerful burst of energy or sound.'
