Old English flowan
The psychology sense "state of focus" was coined by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in 1975
"To even stand a chance at perceiving how things relate to each other, which is essential to perceiving truth in its wholeness, requires fluency of a certain key, which stands for focus, foundation, and flow. Without integrated fluency of that key, its domains are exposed to external access. If this happens, the very foundation of one’s being is available for outsourcing to some external authority. Then, the essence of truth is no longer available. As a word, truth lives on, but it is just a vapid word, a form without essence, which can be juggled and maneuvered, as determined by the external authority. "
