where two stubborn things finally stop arguing and become something better than both
means To mix two or more things together so thoroughly that they combine into a single, unified whole.
from From Old English 'blandan,' to mix or mingle, with a likely boost from Old Norse 'blanda,' meaning the same — the kind of word Viking and Saxon both already had, so it slid easily between them. It's a cousin of words across the Germanic family, all circling the idea of stirring things into one. The 'smoothie' sense is much later; for most of its life 'blend' just meant to fold one thing into another until you couldn't pick them apart again.
