Origin of the word floury

The word "floury" comes from the Old French word "fleur," meaning "flower." This is because flour, the fine powder made from grains, was historically considered a "flower" due to its fine texture and resemblance to flower petals. Over time, "fleur" evolved into "flour" in English, and the adjective "floury" emerged to describe things having the texture or appearance of flour.
