Etymology
In summary
From early Middle High German plāge, from Latin plāga (“blow, wound”). The word was originally chiefly Central German, therefore sometimes secondarily adapted to the Upper German consonantism as (later) Middle High German pflāge, which form did not last, however. More at plague.
