sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Fl" here is just part of the word "fled", which has been cut off in this form. In the primary lessons: Seen on drink and food labels («12 fl oz»), in addresses and lift signs («2nd fl»), and in US postal addresses («Miami, FL»). In history books «fl.» shows when someone was known to be working. In maths, it appears in unit conversion with fluid ounces.

note
An abbreviation, not a word on its own; say the full words. US fl oz (about 29.6 ml) and UK fl oz (about 28.4 ml) are different sizes — a trap in conversions. 16 US fl oz = 1 US pint; 20 UK fl oz = 1 UK pint.
