Word origin

The word 'flagstone' originated in the 14th century, derived from the Middle English word 'flagge' meaning turf or sod. It was originally used to refer to a flat stone slab used for paving. Over time, the term expanded to include thin, flat pieces of stone used for roofing or flooring in geology.
