flathe

English

Etymology

From Middle English flathe (flat fish), from Old English *flaþa ("flatcake"; found only in compound flæþecomb, fleþecomb (weaver's comb)), from Proto-Germanic *flaþô (flatcake), of uncertain origin. Previously thought to have derived from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥h₂t- (broad, flat), from Proto-Indo-European *pelh₂- (to spread out, be broad, be flat), but the phonological development is difficult to explain. Cognate with Dutch vla, vlade (baked custard, pancake), Middle Low German vlade (flatcake), German Fladen (a flatcake, cowpatty). Related to flan.
