"etymology_text": "Uncertain. Possibly from Proto-Italic *flāmen or *flādmen (“sacrificial act?”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰleh₂-mn̥ or *bʰleh₂-d-mn̥, from a root *bʰleh₂- with or without an extension *-d-. (For the change of *-dm- to -m-, compare caementum.) A possible cognate in this case is Gothic 𐌱𐌻𐍉𐍄𐌰𐌽 (blōtan, “to honour”); see Proto-Germanic *blōtą. Alternatively, from Proto-Italic *flagsmen (“burnt offering?”), from pre-Latin *bʰl̥gsmn̥, from the root *bʰelg- (“to shine, burn”), which would make it cognate to flagrō (“to burn, blaze”) and flamma (“flame”). Traditionally connected to Sanskrit ब्रह्मन् (bráhman): however, this etymology is now largely rejected.",
