The 1994 film was an action flick that had big names like Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, and Forest Whitaker attached to it.
Digging into the word's etymological history, it is derived from the Middle English word "blowen" and the Old English word "blawan," both of which mean inflate/blow/sound. When traced back to its Old Armenian roots, the word is used to describe fertility, while its Latin progenitor means the same as its modern English counterpart.
