Where the word comes from

From Old French *flarer*, meaning to smell or emit an odor, possibly from Latin *flagrare*, meaning to burn or blaze. The sense evolved in English to describe a sudden bright flame or light, then extended to mean a sudden outburst of emotion or a widening shape, as in a garment's flare.
