Origin

From Latin 'efflorescere', composed of 'ex-' (out) and 'florescere' (to bloom or flower), which derives from 'flos' meaning flower. The word entered English in the 18th century, originally used in botanical contexts and later expanded to describe the figurative sense of flourishing or reaching peak development.
