Similar words

かける
The base verb かける means 'to pour' or 'to sprinkle' in a neutral way. ぶっ掛ける adds the prefix ぶっ-, which intensifies the action and makes it sound more forceful or rough.

Etymology

Formed from the verb かける (to pour) with the emphatic prefix ぶっ- (a variant of ぶち-), which adds a sense of force or violence. The exact historical derivation of the prefix is uncertain, but it is common in colloquial and rough-sounding verbs.
