In summary

Inherited from Middle French flot (“considerable quantity of poured liquid, stream, flow”), from Old French flot (“mass of moving water, flood, tidal flow”), partly from Frankish *flota (“flux, streaming flow”) from Proto-Germanic *flutą (“body of water, flow”); partly from Old Norse flóð (“stream, river, flood, massive flow of water”); and partly from Frankish *flōd (“river, flood”); both from Proto-Germanic *flōduz (“river”), *flutōną (“flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *plōw- (“to pour, wash”). Cognate with Old Dutch fluod (“river”), Old High German fluot (“flood”), Old English flōd (“river, flood”), Gothic 𐍆𐌻𐍉𐌳𐌿𐍃 (flōdus, “river, stream”). More at fleuve, flood, flow.
