Etymology
The word 'flirt' originated in the 16th century in the sense 'to flick, move briskly.' It was used to describe the motion of a bird darting from place to place, which later evolved to mean the playful behavior of attracting someone for amusement. Over time, 'flirt' gained its modern romantic connotation, referring to someone who behaves playfully to attract romantic interest without serious intentions.
