Word origin
The word 'flush' originated from the Middle English word 'flusshen', meaning to fly up, start up. It was first used in the 14th century to describe the act of causing water to flow or be emptied. Over time, its meanings expanded to include the flushing of faces due to emotion. The word has since become widely used in both literal and figurative contexts.
