Uitgesproken als (IPA)

/ˈflʌʃ/

Etymologie (English)

Inherited from Middelengels: flusshen

Cognate with Middelengels: flasshen

Cognate with Duits: flutschen

In summary

From Middle English flusshen, fluschen, of uncertain origin. Perhaps related to Middle English flasshen, flasschen, flaschen, see flash; or a Middle English blend of flowen (“to flow”) + guschen (“to gush”). Compare with German flutschen.
