Where this word comes from

Uncertain, though possibly sound-symbolically motivated in formation. An alternative theory taking the word as a dissimilation of an unattested *prōrāre < *prō ōrāre, i.e. from prō (“for, in front of”) + ōrō (“to orate, plead”), appears strange and unlikely. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₃(w)- (“to flow”).
