Etymology
From Middle Dutch plagge (“cloth, rag; sod”). Of uncertain ultimate origin: perhaps a pre-Germanic (but Indo-European) substrate in which the p- has not undergone Grimm's law; compare Latvian plēst (“to tear off”). Also compare Proto-Germanic *flahaną (“to skin”).[1][2] Related to Swedish plagg.
