Etymology

From Middle French flot ‎(“considerable quantity of poured liquid, stream, flow”), from Old French flot ‎(“mass of moving water, flood, tidal flow”), partly from Old Norse flóð ‎(“stream, river, flood, massive flow of water”); partly from Frankish *flota ‎(“flux, streaming flow”); and partly from Frankish *flōd ‎(“river, flood”); all from Proto-Germanic *flōduz ‎(“river”), Proto-Germanic *flutōną ‎(“flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *plōw- ‎(“to pour, wash”). Cognate with Old Dutch fluod ‎(“river”), Old High German fluot ‎(“flood”), Old English flōd ‎(“river, flood”), Gothic 𐍆𐌻𐍉𐌳𐌿𐍃 ‎(flōdus, “river, stream”). More at fleuve, flood, flow.
