Etymology
1. Inherited from Danish flod, from Old Norse flóð (“flood”), from Proto-Germanic *flōduz. Doublet of flo (“high tide”).
2. The Danish word (like Swedish flod) acquired the sense “river” through influence of Middle Low German vlôt f, from the same etymon as above, as well as related vlȫt(e) m, from Proto-West Germanic *fluti (“flow”); the latter is cognate with German Fluss. See: Danish Nouns '
flod', Danish Nouns '
