A fire burning at full strength — big flames, hard light, heat you can feel from a distance. Everything the word does elsewhere is that fire lent to something that is not on fire.

blazing 的中心可以想成一團燒到最旺的火:火舌很大、光很刺眼、隔著一段距離都感覺得到熱。它來自動詞 blaze。後面不管用在天氣、脾氣還是速度上,都可以想成把這團火借過去——借給太陽,就是曬到發痛;借給人,就是氣到冒火;借給機器,就是快到像著火。

From the word’s history

Blazing is the -ing form of the verb blaze, a fire that burns brightly.

blazing 就是動詞 blaze 的 -ing 形式,blaze 指的是燒得又亮又旺的火。所以這個形容詞從頭到尾帶著火的畫面,沒有離開過。
