Something that causes blinking or obscures vision; a rare or dialectal term for a blinder or something that prevents clear sight.
Formed from 'blink' with the agent suffix '-er,' indicating something that causes blinking or blocks vision. This is an uncommon word, mostly found in dialectal or historical texts.
English speakers are creative word-makers—if you can say 'blink' and want a noun for the thing that causes it, you just add '-er.' This shows how productive English's word-building system is, even if some resulting words never catch on widely!
