𐍆𐌻𐌰𐌿𐍄𐍃

Uncertain; perhaps from a Proto-Germanic *flautaz, but seemingly unrelated to (the root of) *flautijaną. Old High German flaozlihho (“proudly”) and flaozzan (“to be proud”) are the only apparent cognates. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.

     Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another. (ASV)
