Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: fluid

Verwant aan Oudgrieks: φλύειν

Verwant aan Engels: flow

In summary

From Middle English fluid, from Latin fluidus (“flowing; fluid”), from Latin fluō (“to flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₁- (“to swell; surge; overflow; run”). Akin to Ancient Greek φλύειν (phlúein, “to swell; overflow”). Not related to English flow, which is a native, inherited word from *plew-.
