хлакъ
Old Church Slavonic
Etymology
Sometimes said to ultimately represent a borrowing from Germanic, specifically Gothic 𐌷𐌰𐌻𐌺𐍃 (halks, “vain, futile”), but Lehmann dismisses this as being 'dubious semantically'. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
