Etymology
Blisteringly comes from blister, the small painful skin bubble you get from heat or rubbing, with -ing and -ly added. If something is blistering it is so hot or so strong it could 'make blisters', so blisteringly means 'very' or 'extremely', used for very hot, very harsh, or very fast actions.
