In summary

From Middle Dutch vlerc, vleric, vlederic, from Old Dutch fetherak, from Proto-West Germanic *feþruk, *fiþrik (“wing”), from *feþru (“feather”). The -l- visible from Middle Dutch onward likely arose through the influence of words such as vlueghel/vloghel (“wing”), vliegen (“to fly”), vleder (“wing”). Cognates include Old High German fedarah, fiderih (“wing, pinion, plumage”).
