[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Middle High German flegel, from Old High German flegil, from Proto-West Germanic *flagil, probably from Latin flagellum. Cognate with English flail and German Flegel.
The expected development of Middle High German flegel would be Fleel (found occasionally or dialectally; cf. Keel, Neel, Seegel); the usual form of this word shows sporadic development of Middle High German -eg- into -éi- (compare géint).
