To make red-faced or bloated; to dishevel or make untidy.
From Middle Dutch 'blouse' or related to 'blowze' (ruddy, coarse-looking). Dating to 1600s, meaning to make someone look flushed or unkempt.
This word is delightfully old-fashioned—calling someone 'blowsed' (which comes from this verb) was a way to say they looked like they'd been out in the wind or had been drinking!
