Etymology

From Middle English flakeren (“to flutter, waver”), frequentative of Middle English flaken (“to move quickly back and forth”), equivalent to flack +? -er (frequentative suffix).

Akin to Middle Dutch flakkeren (“to flicker, waver”), German flackern (“to flare, flicker, flutter”), Icelandic flökra (“to flutter”), Icelandic flakka (“to rove about”), Old English flacor (“flying, fluttering”). See also flack, flicker.

Alternatively, the Middle English word may descend from Old English *flacorian, a derivative of Old English flacor (“flickering, fluttering”).
