Etymology
1. 1566, "to display oneself in flashy clothes," of unknown origin; perhaps a variant of
flout or
vaunt. It looks Fr., but it corresponds to no known Fr. word. Transitive sense is from 1827.
2. Of North Germanic origin. Perhaps related to Norwegian flanta (“to show off, wander about”), Icelandic flana (“to rush about, act rashly or heedlessly”) and then also to French flâner (“to wander around, loiter”).
3. Alternatively, it could be related to Swedish flankt (“loosely, flutteringly”) (compare English flaunt-a-flaunt), from flanka (“waver, hang and wave about, ramble”), a nasalised variant of flakka (“to waver”), related to Middle English flacken (“to move to and fro, flutter, palpitate”). See flack. See: Icelandic '
flana', French '
flâner'.
