(regional, parts of Northern Germany) 'black elder (shrub)'

from Middle Low German vlêder, vlider 'elder', itself probably from Middle Dutch vlieder, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *fleuþr 'elder tree'. Cognate with modern Dutch vlier, West Frisian flear. At first merely a northern synonym of 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.
