Derived from the Middle English 'flour' (from Old French 'flour', ultimately from Latin 'flos', meaning blossom or flower) combined with 'arrangement', stemming from Old French 'arrangier' (from 'a-' plus 'rang', meaning row or rank). The compound noun gained prominent usage in the late 19th and 20th centuries with the commercialization of floriculture and interior design aesthetics.
