Fly as in what birds and aeroplanes do, fly as in the insects, or fly as in “your fly is down”?

edit: I mean the word fly (as in its use in language), not the act of flying!

    I agree. I also imagine fly for insects comes from abbreviating “flying bug” or something like that, so also came after the verb to fly.
