Flansch

German Alternative forms de Flansche<g:f> obsolete Etymology According to Kluge, Pfeifer and Duden, from de gmh vlansch corner, end, with possible relations to de Flunsch pout, pouty mouth and to de flennen to cry noisily, snivel. However, the likely descendant of the inherited term seems to show very little usage in New High German, and with the sense having shifted towartds "torn bit, strip of meat"flantsch. The modern meaning of "flange" appears fairly suddenly in the first half of the 19th century specifically in engineering. This sense, or any close to it, is markedly absent in Grimm's dictionary despite being contemperaneous. The closeness in sense and form could alternatively suggest a borrowing from de en flange, en flanch.
