Etymology
Blouson comes from the French word blouse, which means a 'loose top', and the ending -on makes it a small or jacket-like form. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a top that 'blouses'. It puffs out above the waist and is fitted at the bottom, which is exactly why a blouson is a short, loose jacket gathered at the waist.
