Etymologie (Englisch)

Geerbt von Mittelenglisch: fleute

Verwandt mit Französisch: flûte

Verwandt mit Niederländisch: fluit

In summary

From Middle English fleute, floute, flote, from Old French flaute, fleüte, from Old Provençal flaüt, of uncertain origin. Perhaps ultimately from three possibilities:
* Blend of Provencal flaujol (“flageolet”) + laüt (“lute”)
* From Latin flātus (“blowing”), from flāre (“to blow”)
* Imitative.
Doublet of flauta and fluyt.
