Rare enough to double-check
flagorneur is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \fla.ɡɔʁ.nœʁ\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. Gloss: "Bassement, outrageusement flatteur.".
flagorneur has no tracked misspelling variants, since its letter pattern doesn't lend itself to common typo substitutions. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is flagorneur, spelled F-L-A-G-O-R-N-E-U-R.
