Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂-u-d- (“to clap the hands”), from *pleh₂-u-h₂- (“palm of the hand”), from *pleh₂- (“flat”). Related to plautus (“trod flat”); see there for more cognates.^[1]

Older theories derived the word from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₂k-, the same root of Latin plēctō (“to braid”), plangō (“to strike”), plaga (“plague, wound”) and Ancient Greek πλήσσω (plḗssō, “to strike”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
