The word "flapcakes" appears to be a combination of the words "flapjacks" and "pancakes".
The term "flapjacks" originated from the word "flap", meaning to flip or toss, and "jack", which is a colloquial term for a man referring to a male servant. It was initially used in the 1600s to describe a sudden movement or a light slap. Over time, it evolved to refer to a type of griddle cake that is cooked by flipping or tossing it in a pan.
Similarly, "pancakes" is a term used to describe a type of cake made by cooking a batter on a hot griddle or frying pan. The term "pancake" can be traced back to the 15th century, where "pan" refers to the cooking utensil used, and "cake" represents a cooked dish.
