Etymology
Ca. 1600, from de gml vlêder, gml vlider elder, itself probably from de dum vlieder, ultimately from de gmw-pro *fleuþr. Cognate with modern nl vlier, fy flear.
At first merely a northern synonym of de Holunder elder; then in the 18th century transferred to the somewhat similar-looking lilac, which is of southeastern European origin and thus had no German name.
