JavaScript has an event called onBlur that fires when a control loses focus. My question is: Why is it called that? Wouldn’t all of our lives be easier if it was called OnFocusLost?

I would imagine it is called this because when you lose focus on something it tends to become blurry.
No, I don’t necessarily believe that my life would become easier if it was suddenly changed to
onFocusLost.
