So, even though an unconsidered BLAZE traditionally derives from BLAISE, no one can intentionally conscript "blaze" from their dictionary?

---

Maybe its definition should espouse more than one meaning:

• Traditionally, a modern variant of BLAISE
• (Modern English) a brilliant flame*
• (Modern English < German) to blaze a trail** (i.e. a forerunner, an innovator, a first-born?).

---

*Fire names usually allude to an incendiary and/or a luminary.

---

**The Trail Blazers are also a pro basketball team, nicknamed the Blazers. Their mascot is BLAZE [the Trail Cat]. That etymology would follow my third option above.
