flirt
[[English]]
ipa :/flɜː(ɹ)t/[Adjective]
flirt (not comparable)
1.pert; wanton
[Antonyms]
- ("to insinuate emotional affection"): belittle
[Etymology]
1553, from the merger of Early Modern English flirt (“to flick”), flurt (“to mock, jibe, scorn”), and flirt, flurt (“a giddy girl”). Of obscure origin and relation. Apparently related to similar words in Germanic, compare Eastern Frisian flirt (“a flick of the fingers, a light blow”), Eastern Frisian flirtje (“a giddy girl”), Low German flirtje (“a flirt”), German Flirtchen (“a flirt”), Norwegian flira (“to giggle, titter”). Perhaps from Middle English gill-flurt (“a flirt”), or an alteration of flird (“a trifling", also, "to jibe, jeer at”), from Middle English flerd (“mockery, fraud, deception”), from Old English fleard (“nonsense, vanity, folly, deception”). Compare Scots flird (“to talk idly, flirt, flaunt”). See flird.
[Noun]

1.A sudden jerk; a quick throw or cast; a darting motion; hence, a jeer.
2.One who flirts; especially a woman who acts with giddiness, or plays at courtship; a coquette; a pert girl.

1873 Compared with the greatest poets, he may be said to be the poet of unpoetical natures, possessed of quiet and contemplative tastes. But unpoetical natures are precisely those which require poetic cultivation. This cultivation Wordsworth is much more fitted to give, than poets who are intrinsically far more poets than he. — John Stuart Mill, Autobiography, Chapter 5.
