floten.2

Etymology: < Old French flote (feminine), company of persons, multitude = Spanish flota , Portuguese frota < popular Latin type *flotta , probably < Germanic *flot- weak grade of the root of *fleutan fleet v.1 in the sense ‘to flow’. The Spanish and Portuguese words also mean ‘fleet of vessels’, and in this meaning are probably adoptions of the Germanic word appearing as Old Norse flote, Old English flota weak masculine, < the same root in the sense ‘to float’. The modern sense of French flotte, fleet, is believed to have been adopted < Spanish in the 16th cent.; the older sense is still current in certain phrases, but is popularly regarded as a transferred use. Italian has fiotta, frotta, flotta in both senses, but their relation to the French word is doubtful.
Obsolete.
A company, troop; also, a herd (of cattle), a shoal (of fish).
ΘΚΠ
the world > space > relative position > arrangement or fact of being arranged > state of being gathered together > an assemblage or collection > [noun] > of people or animals > regarded as a whole or a body of people gathered
