Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Norse flesk (“pork, flesh”), from Proto-Germanic *flaiski (“meat, flesh”). The further origin is uncertain; the Proto-Germanic form has been connected with *pleh₁ḱ- (“to tear, peel off”) and with words denoting cut or split-off pieces, such as flís (“splinter, wood chip”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk flesk, Faroese flesk, Icelandic flesk and fleski, Danish flæsk and Swedish fläsk (“pork, bacon”), as well as English flesh, Dutch vlees and German Fleisch (“meat, flesh”).
