Etimologia (Inglese)

Affine norvegese: flanta

Affine islandese: flana

Affine francese: flâner

Affine svedese: flankt

Affine inglese: flaunt-a-flaunt

Affine inglese medio: flacken

In summary

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”).
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.
