词源	fleer v. "grin mockingly," c. 1400, perhaps from Scandinavian (compare dialectal Norwegian flira "giggle, laugh at nothing," dialectal Danish flire "to grin, sneer, titter"). Transitive sense from 1620s. Related: Fleered; fleering; fleeringly. As a noun from c. 1600. fleer n. "one who flees," late 14c., agent noun from flee (v.). Entries linking to fleer flee v. Old English fleon, flion "take flight, fly from, avoid, escape" (contracted II strong verb; past tense fleah, past participle flogen), from Proto-Germanic fleuhanan "to run away" (source also of Old High German fliohan, Old Norse flöja, Old Frisian flia, Dutch vlieden, German fliehen, Gothic þliuhan "to flee"), probably from PIE pleuk-, extended form of root *pleu- "to flow," but Boutkan is not convinced. Also compare fly (v.2). Weak past tense and past participle fled emerged in Middle English under influence of Scandinavian. Old English had a transitive form, geflieman "put to flight, banish, drive away," which came in handy in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Related: fled; Fleeing. updated on November 22, 2014
