A bubble pushed up under a surface — skin lifted off the flesh by a pocket of liquid, the surface still whole but no longer lying flat.
From the word’s history
From Middle English blister, from Old French blestre, from a Germanic source; compare Middle Dutch blyster "swelling" and Old Norse blastr "a blowing." The Norse cognate meaning "a blowing" fits the picture of a surface puffed up from underneath.
來自中古英語 blister、古法語 blestre，源頭是日耳曼語系；可比較中古荷蘭語 blyster「腫脹」與古諾斯語 blastr「吹起」。古諾斯語那個「吹」的意思跟現代畫面對得很準——像有人從底下吹了一口氣，把表層鼓成一個泡。
