Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *plowdʰo- (lead), and cognate with Latin plumbum (id) and perhaps Proto-Berber *būldūn.[1]

Rix derives the term from Proto-Indo-European *plewd- (compare Old Irish ·lúaidi (moved), Old Norse fleyta)[2] an enlargement of *plew- (to flow); however, Matasovic and de Vaan consider the word to be a borrowing from an unknown substrate.[3]
