A person who flatters; a flatterer (a somewhat archaic or French-influenced English term).
Directly borrowed from French 'flatteur,' which comes from 'flatter' (Old French 'flatir'). This is a French loanword that appears occasionally in English literature.
This French spelling reveals English's historical relationship with French—after the Norman Conquest, French heavily influenced English vocabulary, and some French forms lingered on even as English evolved its own versions!
