Etymology

The word 'flowed' originates from the Old English 'flowan,' which means 'to move in a stream.' Its roots can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic '*flลwลnฤ…,' which conveys a similar meaning of movement. This word is also related to other Germanic languages, such as German 'flieรŸen' and Dutch 'vloeien,' both of which have similar meanings associated with fluid movement. Over centuries, the word has evolved to encompass not just the movement of liquids, but also ideas, emotions, and other substances that have a tendency to move smoothly. As language has developed, the metaphorical use of 'flow' has become increasingly popular, illustrating the concept of effortless progress, whether in conversation, creativity, or other processes.
