Etymology
Borrowed from Portuguese flamingo, from Spanish flamengo, from Old Occitan flamenc, which derives either from Latin flamma (“flame”), after the color of its plumage, or (less likely) from Middle Dutch vlaminc, after their ruddy skin color (compare Spanish flamenco). See: Portuguese Nouns '
flamingo', Latin Nouns '
flamma', Spanish Nouns '
flamenco'.
