Proto-West Germanic

Etymology

Origin disputed. Most sources state the term is most likely borrowed from Latin flagellum (“flail, small whip”).[1][2][3]

Alternatively, and perhaps less likely, the term is possibly a native formation inherited from Proto-Germanic *flagilaz, from the verb Proto-Germanic *flahaną (“to skin, flay”), from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂g-, *pleh₂k- (“to beat, strike”), from *pel- (“to beat, push”) + *-ilaz (masculine agent suffix); related to Proto-Germanic *flagǭ (“a blow, strike, hit”), *flōkaną (“to beat, strike”), *flakkōną (“to beat”), and therefore distantly related to English flag, flack. For an example of another term previously considered to be derived from the Latin due to coincidental semblance of form and meaning, see English pluck.
