In vexillology, a flag that has a canton, a hoist, and a fly refers to a flag design. The canton is typically the upper corner of the flag, often containing a symbol or emblem, while the hoist is the side of the flag that is attached to the flagpole, and the fly is the opposite side that flaps in the wind. This design is common in many national flags, including the United States flag, which features a blue canton with stars on a field of red and white stripes.

What do the terms hoist and fly mean when describing a flag?

Hoist and fly refer to the measurements of a flag. The hoist of a flag is the measurement of the side which is affixed to the halyard (rope). The fly of the flag is the measurement of the flag when extended perpendicular to the mast (flagpole). You could use the terms length and width, but hoist and fly are more descriptive and accurate.
