The word "flashily" has its roots in the 14th century. "Flash" initially meant "to shine suddenly" or "to gleam." Over time, it evolved to denote a brief, intense burst of light or energy. In the 17th century, the verb "flash" took on a figurative sense, meaning "to wear or exhibit something grandly or showily." This led to the adjective "flashy," which described something that is attention-grabbing, flashy, or excessive. The adverb "flashily," which means "in a showy or flashy manner," emerged in the mid-19th century. It's likely a combination of "flashy" and the suffix "-ly," which forms adverbs indicating manner or mode. Today, "flashily" is used to describe something that is done or presented with great display, fanfare, or bravado.
