Definition of undefined

The word "flying" originates from the Old English word "fleogan," meaning "to fly." This word, in turn, comes from the Proto-Germanic word "fliugan," which also meant "to fly." "Fliegan" is related to the Proto-Indo-European word "pleuk-," meaning "to fly." This connection highlights the shared ancestry of many languages, including English, German, and Sanskrit, with words for "flying" that ultimately trace back to a common ancestor.
