Best Answer

The word flower (first flur) came from Latin florem which may have had an Aryan root. The spelling changed to flower around the mid-14th century. However, it was also spelled flour, which caused some confusion with the milled grain. Flour is taken from the French fleur de farine, literally 'the flower, or finest, of the meal (of grain)'
