Word origin

The word 'flanged' derives from the noun 'flange', which has origins in the mid-19th century. The term is thought to have originated from the Old French word 'flange', meaning 'edge or rim'. This was adapted from the earlier Middle English term 'flang', which referred to a flap or projecting part. Over time, the usage of 'flange' expanded, particularly in mechanical and engineering contexts, highlighting its importance in providing structural support and facilitating connections in various applications. The way we use 'flanged' today is a testament to the evolution of the word as it relates to modern manufacturing and construction processes.
