Print issue

I haven't seen an issue like this before. I am relatively new to 3D printing so have only gone through a couple kg of prints... What might the discoloration be from? Looks like the outer layers were pushed out at the discoloration.

RE:

It looks like a "blob" that accumulated on the nozzle and discolored from long heat exposure, then grew large enough to get snagged / deposited on that perimeter.

Two common causes of that are over-extrusion and stringing.  If over-extrusion, dropping the extrusion multiplier a few percent may solve it.  There are lots of reasons and solutions for stringing, but one of the biggest is damp filament (especially with PETG).  As a first step, thoroughly dry the filament -- even if it is a brand-new roll right out of the package.
