Where does “fluff” come from?

I appreciate the task, but I need to flag an issue: the chain shows only "English floow" without any etymological ancestors or language progression. To write an accurate one-sentence origin summary, I would need: - The actual etymology chain (e.g., Old English → Proto-Germanic → PIE, or however it traces) - At least one attested source language before English - Ideally the original form and its meaning With only "English floow" provided, I cannot construct a legitimate etymology sentence without inventing the very intermediate steps the rules forbid. Could you provide the complete chain? For example: Middle English fluff ← Old English *fluff ← Proto-Germanic *X, etc.?
