Etymology

edit

From Old Swedish plugger, from Middle Low German plock, pluck. Of uncertain ultimate origin: perhaps from the same ultimate source as Dutch plag (cut of sod), itself of uncertain 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]

Noun

edit

plugg c

  1. a plug (piece of wood, metal, or other substance used to stop or fill a hole)
  2. a peg (put in a hole)
