/flɔːnt/, U.S.

/flɑnt/

Forms: Also 1500s–1700s flant.

Etymology: Of unknown origin. The monosyllables of similar ending are (except perhaps gaunt) all from French; but no French word is known which could be the source. Possibly the word may be an onomatopoeia formed with a vague recollection of fly, flout and vaunt. Prof. Skeat compares modern Swedish dialect flankt loosely, flutteringly ( < flanka to flutter, waver), also modern German (Bavarian) flandern to flutter, flaunt; but the late appearance of the word in English makes it doubtful whether any connection exists.

1. intransitive. Of plumes, banners, etc.: To wave gaily or proudly. Of plants: To wave so as to display their beauty.
