WARP COLOR ORDER:

Blanket. Old French blanquete, from blanc, white. Originally a white woolen material; cf. Middle English whitel, Anglo Saxon hwītel, in similar sense. Wet blanket is figuratively from extinguishing a fire (cf. throw cold water on). To toss in a blanket is in Shakespeare (2 Henry IV, ii 4). Wrong side of the blanket is in Smollett (Humphrey Clinker). Blanketer (historical) was the name given to operatives who assembled (1817) in St Peter's Fields, Manchester, provided with blankets in order to march to London and demand redress of their grievances. The attack upon them by the military gave rise to the portmanteau word Peterloo (St Peter's Fields X Waterloo), a very early example of this formation and a curious parallel to Bakerloo.
