Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French faulcon, from Old French falcun (“falcon”), from Late Latin falcōnem, accusative form of falcō (“falcon”), probably of Germanic origin; possibly from Frankish *falkō (“falcon, hawk”), from Proto-Germanic *falkô (“falcon”), from Proto-Indo-European *pol̑- (“pale”), from *pel- (“fallow”). Cognate with Old English *fealca, fealcen (“falcon”). More at falcon.
