FLAUNT Meaning and Definition

1. Flaunt is a verb that typically means to display or exhibit something showily or ostentatiously, often with the intention of gaining attention, admiration, or envy. It involves drawing attention to one's possessions, achievements, attributes, or appearance, often deliberately and boastfully. When someone flaunts something, they do so in a way that seeks to impress or provoke a reaction from others.

   This term is commonly associated with showing off material possessions, such as luxurious cars, expensive jewelry, or extravagant clothing, as well as accomplishments, talents, or physical attributes. Flaunting can be a way for individuals to assert their social status, express their unique style, or simply seek approval and validation from others.

   While flaunting is often perceived negatively as an act of arrogance, boastfulness, or excessive pride, there can be a fine line between flaunting and simply celebrating oneself or showcasing personal achievements. The intention and manner in which something is flaunted can influence the perceived sincerity or level of offensiveness.

   Overall, flaunting involves a deliberate act of display, highlighting one's personal attributes, achievements, or possessions in an attention-grabbing manner, inviting others to notice and react to what is being flaunted.

2. • Anything displayed for show.

   • To wave to and fro in the wind; to move about in fine clothes to let them be seen; to carry a pert or saucy appearance.

Etymology of FLAUNT

The word flaunt has its roots in the Middle English word flaunten, which originated from the Old French word flaunter meaning to show off or to display.

Ultimately, the word has Latin origins, as it can be traced back to the Latin word fluctuare meaning to fluctuate or to wave.
