Word origin
The word 'flock' originated from Old English 'flocc', which meant a group or band of people or animals. Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to specifically refer to a group of birds. Flocks of birds have long been observed by humans, leading to the development of terms to describe their behavior and movements.
