Damaged or destroyed by an explosion, or used as a mild curse word to describe something annoying.
From 'blast,' which comes from Old Norse 'blāstr' meaning a gust of wind. Evolved from describing strong wind to explosions, and in Victorian times became used as a minced oath (a polite substitute for curse words) similar to 'blessed' or 'bloody.'
Victorians used 'blasted' as a sneaky way to curse without actually cursing—it sounded like the word 'blessed' but everyone knew what frustrated feeling you were really expressing!
