A French word meaning flower, often used in English in phrases like 'fleur-de-lis' (a stylized flower symbol).
From Latin 'flora' (flower goddess) and Old French 'fleur.' The word comes from the same root as 'flower' and 'flora.'
The fleur-de-lis (flower of the lily) is so ancient it appears on seals from thousands of years ago, but nobody's sure if it actually represents a lily or an iris—even experts disagree about what the most famous flower symbol really is.
