Flamboyer

/flæmˈbɔɪər/ noun

Definition

One who acts, dresses, or behaves in a flamboyant manner; a showy or extravagant person.

Etymology

From French 'flamboyer' (to flame), with the addition of the agent suffix '-er' (one who does). Rare in modern English.

Kelly Says

A 'flamboyer' would be someone who naturally gravitates toward theatrical self-expression—but English speakers have mostly abandoned this noun in favor of simply calling them 'flamboyant people.'
