Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Κληρονομήθηκε από Μέσα Αγγλικά: flykke

In summary

From Middle English flykke (“light blow or stroke”). Later uses apparently interpreted as a back-formation from flicker.
The use of flick to mean a film or movie derives from the fact that early films had a low frame rate, thus causing the film to "flick" rapidly when projected onto a screen.
