different between flan vs klan
flan
English
Etymology 1
Borrowed around 1846 from French flan (“cheesecake, custard tart, flan”), or in some uses (in reference to Spanish/Latin American flans) later from Spanish flan (itself from the French), both from Old French flaon (whence also Middle English flaon, flaun (“pie; cake”)), from Late Latin fladonem, accusative of flad? (“flat cake”), from Frankish *flaþ? (“flat cake”), from Proto-Indo-European *pl?h?t- (“broad, flat”), from Proto-Indo-European *pelh?- (“to spread out, be broad, be flat”); compare German Fladen. Akin to Old High German flado (“flat cake, offering cake”). More at flathe.
Although the -n is generally believed to derive from the Late Latin accusative form (fladonem) of flad? (“flat cake”), it might alternatively derive from an inflected form of the Frankish word (such as the Frankish accusative *flaþan, or the like). For a similar case, see garden.

Usage notes
- In the UK and Australia, flan usually refers to a baked tart (sense 1), and would only refer to a custard dessert (sense 2) rarely and in the context of the cuisine of Latin American or Mediterranean countries which use the word in that way. In the US, flan usually refers to the (Latin American-derived) custard dessert (sense 2), though uses of sense 1 can also be found.
