Etymology

From Srednji Engleski flawme, blend of Stari Francuski flame and flambe, flamble, the first from Latinski flamma, the second from Latinski flammula, diminutive of flamma, both from pre-Latin *fladma; Proto-Italic *flagmā, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰel- (to shimmer, gleam, shine). Displaced native Stari Engleski līeġ.
