Blown is the past participle of blow, from Old English blāwan, meaning to blow, breathe, or send out air. The verb belongs to an old Germanic family associated with moving air and is ultimately connected with an Indo-European root concerning blowing or swelling. Its irregular forms blow, blew, and blown preserve historical vowel changes. The sense “carried or knocked over by wind” developed directly from the physical action of moving air.
