Etymology
Probably from an altered form of fífl (“monster, giant; idiot”), with hypothetical pre-form *fimflaz, referring to the flower's "expended" spherical buds. The Swedish Academy suggests a relation to Swedish fjun (“vellus hair”) Icelandic fífa (“cotton grass”). See: Swedish Nouns '
fjun', Icelandic Nouns '
fífa'.
