"Flause" meaning in German

See Flause in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈflaʊ̯zə/ Audio: De-Flause.ogg
Etymology: Borrowed from Middle Low German vlūs, vlūsch (“sheepskin”) or a derivative thereof, ultimately related to Proto-West Germanic *fleus (“fleece”). The figurative sense may have been derived from “flock of wool” via “worthless thing”. The same word was later borrowed again in its original sense as Fluse (“lint, fluff of fabric”). Compare also Flausch, which too is a doublet.
