FLYER

What flyer means

A printed sheet or pamphlet distributed to advertise a product, event, or service, or a person who travels by airplane.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *flier*, meaning "one who flies," formed by adding the agent suffix *-er* to the verb *fly*. The verb *fly* comes from Old English *flēogan*, related to Old Norse *fljúga* and German *fliegen*, all descended from Proto-Germanic *fleuganan*. The noun later extended to mean a leaflet or handbill distributed widely, and later still an aviator or airplane passenger.
