A small flask or container, especially one used historically for carrying liquids.
Diminutive form of 'flack,' possibly related to Middle Low German 'flacke' or Dutch 'flak,' meaning a shallow vessel; used from medieval to early modern periods.
Medieval soldiers carried flackets of ale and water into battle, making them essential military equipment—the design of modern military canteens still echoes these centuries-old portable liquid containers.
