Why is shortening called shortening?
In baking terms, solid fats "shorten" baked goods - they have a tender, crumbly texture and do not rise as much as yeast breads which have little or no fat added. So "short bread" is sweet bread that is just flour, sugar and fat, without any leavening. Pie dough is flour, fat, water and a bit of salt; pie crust with too much fat / shortening is "too short." Before commercial "shortening" was developed, rendered fats and butter were the available shortenings; that is, fat that is solid at room temperature. In the early 20th Century, manufacturers learned to process vegetable oils so they remained solid at room temperature, and this product came to be known as "shortening." See attached article for more information.

What is the use of a pastry blender?
A pastry blender is used to cut shortening into the flour mixture for flaky pastry. To get the flakiest pastry, it's important not to mix the shortening and the flour together but to layer them, that's what makes the flakes. To accomplish this, the shortening should be solid shortening and be ice cold while you work with it because if the shortening warms, it will soak into the flour before flakes can be formed. Some chefs place their bowl of flour and shortening into a bowl of ice to ensure that the shortening stays cold while they're combining the two.
