Etymology

(adverb or adjective.) 1826. French meaning 'white (or blank) paper' - the military term for surrender. The term was previously 'charte blanche'. It is first recorded by Raby in 1707 (reprinted in the Hearne Collection, 1886): "Who sent Chart Blanch to make a Peace." Soon after that we have a citation that gives a clearer understanding of the meaning - from in The Spectator, 1712: "I threw her a Charte Blanche, as our News Papers call it, desiring her to write upon it her own Terms."
