Flower The destiny of the word
The definition: "flower" ?fla??(r)] (noun, count.) - a colored part of a plant from which the plant's fruits develops. A flower is often made up of many petals. Ex.: the plant has small white flowers. A flower and it's stem that have been removed from a plant. Ex: he gave me a big bunch of flowers.
The etymology: "flower " c. 1200, flour, also flur, flor, floer, floyer, flowre, "the blossom of a plant; a flowering plant," from Old French flor "flower, blossom; heyday (§Ù§Ö§ß§Ú§ä), prime; fine flour; elite; innocence, virginity" (12c., Modern French fleur), from Latin florem (nominative flos) "flower" (source of Italian fiore, Spanish flor; compare flora).
The etymology: "flower " From late 14c. in English as "blossoming time," also, figuratively, "prime of life, height of one's glory or prosperity, state of anything that may be likened to the flowering state of a plant." As "the best, the most excellent; the best of its class or kind; embodiment of an ideal," early 13c. (of persons, mid-13c. of things); for example flour of milk "cream" (early 14c.); especially "wheat meal after bran (§à§ä§â§å§Ò§Ú) and other coarse elements have been removed, the best part of wheat" (mid-13c.). Modern spelling and full differentiation from flour (n.) is from late 14c.
The etymology: "flower " In the "blossom of a plant" sense it ousted its Old English cognate blossom (see blossom (n.)). Also used from Middle English as a symbol of transitoriness(§Ò§â§Ö§ß§ß§à§ã§ä§î) (early 14c.); "a beautiful woman" (c. 1300); "virginity" (early 14c.). Flower-box is from 1818. Flower- arrangement is from 1873. Flower child "gentle hippie" is from 1967.
