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.

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.

2.Pertaining especially to a contemplative Roman Catholic religious or one of the contemplative Roman Catholic religious orders.
1870 Whether the nuns of yore, being of a submissive rather than a stiff-necked generation, habitually bent their contemplative heads to avoid collision with the beams in the low ceilings of the many chambers of their House [...] may be matters of interest to its haunting ghosts (if any), but constitute no item in Miss Twinkleton's half-yearly accounts. — Charles Dickens, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Chapter 3
