Meanings

to flutter

Etymology

From earlier paradigm *flakkōþi ~ *flakunanþi, from pre-Germanic *plok-néh2-ti ~ *plok-n̥h2-énti, a secondary o-grade iterative variant of *flukkōną (‘to fly, flutter’), itself a more typical zero-grade iterative of *fleuganą (‘to beat, strike; lament’). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European extended root *plewk- (‘to fly, flow, run; to splash, flap with hands’), from root *plew- (‘to fly, flow, run’) (Kroonen 2013).
