Etymology

[edit]

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰlewH- (to overflow), possibly an extension of *bʰleh₁- (to swell, blow). The Latin form may have developed from earlier *flowō via vowel reduction (which was regular only in non-initial syllables, but may have been introduced to the simple verb by analogy with its compounds) from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleuH-(e/o).[1] Alternatively, it may go back to Proto-Italic *flūō, from earlier *flūjō, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰluH-yé-ti.[2] Cognate with Ancient Greek φλέω (phléō, to abound), φλύω (phlúō, to boil over). Unrelated to English flow, despite phonological and semantic similarity.
