Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₃- Proto-Indo-European *-s Proto-Indo-European *bʰléh₃s Proto-Italic *flōs Latin flōs Old Spanish flor Spanish flor Inherited from Old Spanish flor, from Latin flōs (accusative flōrem). The retention of [ɸl] in Old Spanish (instead of a shift to /ʎ/) is unusual and perhaps reflects some form of conservative tendency. Old Spanish /h~ɸ/ became modern /f/ before a glide or liquid (fuego, fiel, fregar, fleco) and after /l/ (golfo, alfombra, alfiler).
