Origin

Mid 16th century: perhaps from obsolete flag 'drooping', of unknown ultimate origin.

The flag that means ‘a stone slab’ is recorded from medieval English, and may be one of the words given to us by the Vikings, making it a relative of flaw (Middle English) originally a snowflake, then a fragment, becoming a defect in the 15th century. The flag which is used as the emblem of a country has been with us since the mid 16th century, and is a different word. It is likely to represent the sound of something flapping in the wind, although it may also be connected with an obsolete word flag meaning ‘hanging down’. When we want to make clear our support for something we might say that we show the flag. Originally this was used of a naval vessel making an official visit to a foreign port. Flag meaning ‘become tired’ is probably related to the ‘emblem’ flag. It first meant ‘flap about loosely, hang down’. In June 1940, after Dunkirk and before the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill rallied the House of Commons with the words: ‘We shall not flag or fail…We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields, and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.’
