Usage

The alternative spellings blonde and blond correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French, but in English the distinction is not always made, as English does not have such distinctions of grammatical gender. Thus, blond woman or blonde woman, blond man or blonde man are all used. The word is more commonly used of women, though, and in the noun the spelling is typically blonde. In American usage the usual spelling is blond for both adjective and noun

Origin

Late 15th century: from French blond, blonde, from medieval Latin blundus 'yellow', perhaps from Germanic.

  • Long before it referred to fair-haired women who were dizzy or dumb, blonde simply meant ‘yellow’. Blond (m.) or blonde (f.) means ‘fair-haired’ in French, but the word was descended from medieval Latin blondus ‘yellow’. The adjective was adopted by the English at the end of the 15th century, but the noun use, ‘a blonde woman’, dates only from the 19th century, since when the desirability of blondes has become almost proverbial. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was the title of a 1925 book by Anita Loos, which in 1953 was made into a film starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell, and the album Blondes Have More Fun was released by Rod Stewart in 1978. See also bomb, diamond
