Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: pleit

Affine francese antico: ploit

Affine danese: flette

In summary

From Middle English pleit, from Anglo-Norman pleit (compare Old French ploit), from Latin plectō, which is akin to Old Norse flétta (Danish flette), Russian плести́ (plestí) and also to Old English fleohtan, which it displaced. Doublet of plight (“plait, fold”) and pleat.
