大约1600年,来自盎格鲁-法语 floteson,源自古法语 flotaison “漂浮”(现代法语 flottaison),源自 floter “漂浮,使漂浮”(源自日耳曼语并与 float 同源),加上 -aison,源自拉丁语 -ation(em)。在19世纪中叶之前,英语中拼写为 flotsen,后来改变,可能受到许多以 -some 结尾的英语单词的影响。在方言中被民间词源化为 floatsome。
在英国法律中, flotsam 是指因船只失事或风浪作用而漂浮在海上的货物; jetsam 是指在船只处于危险状态时被抛出船外并被冲上岸的物品,或者是水手们抛上岸的物品。任何沉没的物品都是 lagan。1861年, Flotsam and jetsam 比喻“零碎物品”。
