Where this word comes from
Introduced (as Blongio) by Mathurin Jacques Brisson, French naturalist, who did not indicate its origin. The only clue is that two of the specimens he used came from a Swiss collector, so the word might be of Swiss origin. The variant blongion appeared in the 19th century.
