Etymology
Inherited from Danish flod, from Old Norse flóð, from Proto-Germanic *flōduz. Doublet of flod (“flood, river”). The last-mentioned senses, perhaps due to their biblical and literary associations, predominantly have a more spelling-based pronunciation in /d/ not common for the sense “high tide”. This split came to be reflected in the spelling flo, which was standardized already in 1907. See: Danish Nouns '
flod', Danish Nouns '
flod', Old Norse Nouns '
flóð'.
