In summary

Borrowed from French flanc, from Middle French flanc, from Old French flanc, of Germanic origin, probably specifically from Frankish *hlanca, from Proto-Germanic *hlankaz (“flexible; slender”), from Proto-Indo-European *kleng- (“to bend”). Akin to Old High German hlanca (“hip, flank, loin”), Middle High German hip, flank, loin, German Gelenk (“joint”), Old English hlanc (“loose, slender, flaccid, lank”). More at English lank.
