Pflock

Etymology
From (late 14th century). Related with 🇨🇬 (1375, or ), also, (ca. 1420), 🇨🇬 (1511 as , also ), all “peg, wooden nail, pin, plug”. Further origin uncertain. The word shows semantic relations with a nominal derivative of (“to pluck”,, , ), and at least in High German also with the descendant of. However, these relations are in all likelihood secondary. Within High German, the word appears to have been restricted chiefly to the north-east (East Central German and surroundings); therefore it has been argued to be a Low German borrowing in the colonial regions, but the late attestations in all languages make it hard to prove this. and similar Scandinavian forms are usually considered borrowings.
