A hiding place or shelter used by hunters to conceal themselves while hunting ducks without being seen by the birds.
Compound of 'duck' (the bird) and 'blind' (a concealed hunting shelter). The term 'blind' for a hunter's hideout dates to the 1800s, combining with 'duck' to specify the purpose of this particular shelter.
Duck blinds are often built right at water's edge and camouflaged with reeds and branches—hunters essentially become part of the landscape so ducks don't flee before they get close enough for a clean shot.
