Meanings

to beat

Etymology

From earlier paradigm *flakkōþi ~ *flakunanþi, from pre-Germanic *plh₂g-néh2-ti ~ *plh₂g-n̥h2-énti, iterative of *flōkaną (‘to beat, strike; lament’), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European extended root *pleh₂g- (‘to beat, strike’), from root *pel- (‘to beat, push, drive’) (Kroonen 2013). Compare Proto-Slavic *plakati (‘to cry, weep’) and Latin plēctō (‘to punish, beat’).
