flair 天资，天赋

来自拉丁语fragrare, 释放气味，闻，词源同fragrant. 字母l和r异化。原指猎狗的灵敏的嗅觉，后形容人的特殊能力，天资。

英文词源

flair (n.): mid-14c., "an odor," from Old French flaire "odor or scent," especially in hunting, "fragrance, sense of smell," from flairier "to give off an odor; stink; smell sweetly" (Modern French flairer), from Vulgar Latin *flagrare, dissimilated from Latin fragrare "emit (a sweet) odor" (see fragrant). Sense of "special aptitude" is American English, 1925, probably from hunting and the notion of a hound's ability to track scent.
