  vb  n.  {Floundering}.]  [Cf.  D.  flodderen  to  flap,  splash

  To  fling  the  limbs  and  body,  as  in  making  efforts  to  move  to 
  struggle,  as  a  horse  in  the  mire,  or  as  a  fish  on  land;  to 
  roll,  toss  and  tumble;  to  flounce. 
 
  They  have  floundered  on  from  blunder  to  blunder.  --Sir
