Ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European onomatopoeic root *pleh₂g- (to strike) (compare Ancient Greek πλάζω (plázō), Proto-Germanic *flōkaną), variant of *pleh₂k-, whence possibly plācō and placeō. See plangō, from the nasal-infixed form *pleh₂-n-g- (compare Old Norse flengja (to strike, whip), modern English fling). Also possibly related to lancea via Celtic.
