Definition fluff

Etymology

From earlier floow (“woolly substance, down, nap, lint”), also spelt flough, flue, and flew, of uncertain origin (cf. Old English fl?h (“that which is flown off, fragment, piece”)). Possibly representing a blend of flue +‎ puff. Flue is perhaps a borrowing of West Flemish vluwe (compare Middle Dutch vloe), or perhaps onomatopoeic; compare dialectal English floose, flooze, fleeze (“particles of wool or cotton; fluff; loose threads or fibres”), Danish fnug (“down, fluff”), Swedish fnugg (“speck, flake”). Alternatively, West Flemish vluwe may derive from French velu (“hairy, furry”), ultimately from Latin villus ("shaggy hair, tuft of hair"). For words of similar sound and meaning in other languages, compare Japanese ???? (fuwafuwa, “lightly, softly”), Hungarian puha (“soft, fluffy”), Polish puchaty (“soft, fluffy”).
