A small spot, patch, or particle of color, light, or material within a larger surface.
A fleck is a tiny mark that stands out against its background, such as a fleck of paint on a sleeve or a fleck of gold in a stream. The word suggests something small and scattered rather than a single solid stain, often appearing in groups across a surface. It can describe natural markings, like flecks in a bird's wings, or accidental ones, like flecks of mud on a boot.
