Etymology
Blusterer comes from bluster, which originally meant 'to blow loudly' like a strong wind, and the ending -er means 'a person who does'. So a blusterer is a person who 'blows' their words, speaking loudly and bragging to make a show, which is why they often draw attention or cause trouble.
