Etymology

The term 'flier' has its roots in the early 18th century, deriving from the verb 'to fly.' The word was initially used to describe something or someone that flies, particularly in the context of aviation. By the 19th century, 'flier' started to be used more frequently to refer to printed advertisements or handbills distributed to promote events or services. The use of 'flier' has evolved over time, and while 'flyer' has become a common spelling variant, both forms are widely accepted in contemporary English. The aviation meaning of the term emerged along with the advent of powered flight in the early 20th century, and since then, flier has been used to describe pilots and aviation enthusiasts. The dual meanings of the word reflect its versatility and the changing dynamics of language as society develops.
