Where this word comes from
From earlier flickeren, vlickeren, perhaps equivalent to vlikken + -eren. Perhaps ultimately imitative of birds' wings, or from Proto-Germanic *flakuraz (“shaking, wavering”), related to *flakurōną (“to roam, wander”), from Proto-Indo-European *plag- (“to roam, wander”), from Proto-Indo-European *pelə- (“to wander”). Or, from Proto-Germanic *fleuganą (“to fly”). Compare West Frisian flikkerje, Middle Low German vlickeren (“to beat, flap”), Old English flicorian (“to flap, flutter”). More at English flicker, flaunt.
