blitter: /blit'r/ n. [common] A special-purpose chip or
hardware system built to perform blit operations, esp. used for
fast implementation of bit-mapped graphics. The Commodore Amiga and
a few other micros have these, but since 1990 the trend has been
away from them (however, see cycle of reincarnation). Syn.
raster blaster.
