Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Uncertain. From Pre-Germanic *plówkos or *plówkeh₂, apparently formed from the Proto-Indo-European root *plewk-, but perhaps a folk-etymological or tabooistic[1] replacement for an earlier, extinct reflex of *pusl-, *plúsis (“flea”) (from which e.g. Latin pūlex (“flea”) and Lithuanian blusa (“flea”) derive). The reformation may have developed under the influence of *fleuhaną (“to flee”).[2]
