Additional Information
Etymology
1. "hand of cards all of one suit," 1529, perhaps from M.Fr.
flus (15c.), from O.Fr.
flux "a flowing," with the sense of "a run" (of cards), from L.
fluxus "flux," from
fluere "to flow" (see fluent). The form in Eng. probably was influenced by
flush (v.).
2. From Middle English flusshen, fluschen, of uncertain origin. Compare dialectal flusk (“to fly at, startle a bird out of the bush”) and flusker (“to flutter, fly irregularly”). Perhaps related to Middle English flasshen, flasschen, flaschen, see flash; or a Middle English blend of flowen (“to flow”) + guschen (“to gush”). Compare Saterland Frisian flutskje, German Low German flutschen, German flutschen. See: Frisian, Saterlandic 'flutskje', German, old spelling '
flutschen'.
