"floccho" meaning in All languages combined

See floccho on Wiktionary

Noun [Old High German]

Etymology: Probably from Proto-Germanic *flukkōn-, *flukkan-, *fluksōn- (“down, flock”), from Proto-Indo-European *plewk- (“hair, fibres, tuft”). Akin to English floc and its doublet flock (“tufts, lock of wool”), Middle Dutch vlocke (“flock”), Faroese flóki (“tuft of wool, bank of fog”), Icelandic flóki (“dark cloud, tangle, felt”) and Norwegian dialectal flugsa (“snowflake”). Alternatively borrowed from Latin floccus which perhaps is a loan from Germanic. Compare Albanian flok (“hair”), which could be a loan from Latin.
