Etymology
The adverb 'flagrantly' is derived from the adjective 'flagrant,' which comes from the Latin word 'flagrans,' meaning 'burning' or 'blazing.' The use of 'flagrant' in English can be traced back to the early 17th century, when it started to be used to describe something that is shockingly evident, especially in terms of wrongdoing or immorality. The transformation into the adverb 'flagrantly' maintains this sense of blatant visibility. In contemporary usage, 'flagrantly' often carries a negative connotation, emphasizing not just the visibility of the action in question but also its repugnance or ethical violation. This word has evolved through literature and legal contexts, where its implications often relate to disregard for laws or norms.
