[Apparently either ‹blooter v. + -ed suffix1 or ‹blooter n. + -ed suffix2.
blooter v. 2 (or its noun equivalent) seems the most likely source, but the 19th-cent. Scottish sense ‘to bluiter up with water, to dilute too much’ (see J. Jamieson Etymol. Dict. Sc. Lang. (1808) s.v.) may also be an influence.]
