flutur

Orel proposes a back-formation from fluturoj (“to fly; go fast”), from a Vulgar Latin *fluctulāre, from Latin fluctuare.^[1]

Alternatively, the word could come from Proto-Albanian *flugtur, forming a group of words together with fletë, flatër, flegër, flugë. The word may have been borrowed into Romanian as fluture.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7]}
