Etymology
Ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European onomatopoeic root *pleh₂g- (“to strike”) (compare Ancient Greek πλάζω (plázō), Proto-Germanic *flōkaną), variant of *pleh₂k-, whence possibly plācō and placeō. See plangō, from the nasal-infixed form *pleh₂-n-g- (compare Old Norse flengja (“to strike, whip”), modern English fling). Also possibly related to lancea via Celtic.
