Japanese fleama though appears to be a loan word and not a calque like the rest.

Now this guy is paying attention!

[-] dojan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

This is true, I don't know which word came first. I'd wager a guess that 蚤の市 predates フリーマーケット, but it's really just a stab in the dark on the basis that English loanwords feel more modern, and it feels unlikely that a calque would be created after a loanword has been widely adopted.

Wouldn't it be both? Assuming 蚤の市 and フリーマーケット have the same meaning.

蚤の市

Yep! nomi no ichi. Nomi (蚤) means flea, and ichi (市) means market, no (の) is a possessive particle making it "flea's market" or "market of flea"

I assume that 蚤の市 is a loan word and フリーマーケット a calque. But I don't speak any Japanese.

No, it's the other way around. 蚤 means flea and 市 means market. フリーマーケット sounds like flea market.
