French[edit]
Etymology[edit]
[1] Compare Anglo-Norman flurissuns with Old French floroison [13th c.] which became Middle French fleurison [from 1575] and early Modern French fleuraison [from 1669] — by surface analysis, fleur + -aison. The current form floraison has the root-stem relatinized to mirror the Latin flōr-, the stem used in most of the inflected forms of flōs (“flower”). The old form fleuraison exists in modern French as a rare literary term.
