Where this word comes from
Ca. 1600, from Middle Low German vlêder, vlider (“elder”), itself probably from Middle Dutch vlieder, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *fleuþr. Cognate with modern Dutch vlier, West Frisian flear. At first merely a northern synonym of Holunder (“elder”); then in the 18th century transferred to the somewhat similar-looking lilac, which is of southeastern European origin and thus had no German name.
