Etymology

From Old Swedish plugger, from Middle Low German plock, pluck. Of uncertain ultimate origin: perhaps from the same ultimate source as Dutch plag (cut of sod), itself of uncertain origin, perhaps a pre-Germanic (but Indo-European) substrate in which the p- has not undergone Grimm's law; compare Latvian plēst (to tear off). Also compare Proto-Germanic *flahaną (to skin).[1][2]
