Etymology:
Meaning:
To make or become agitated, confused, or upset, often with a feeling of embarrassment or awkwardness.
Origin:
The word "fluster" originally referred to a gust of wind or a burst of noise. It was first used in the 14th century to describe the rustling of leaves or the fluttering of birds. By the 16th century, it had acquired its current meaning of "to make or become agitated."
The word is thought to be onomatopoeic, meaning that it imitates the sound of a sudden gust of wind or a loud noise. It is related to the words "flutter," "bluster," and "flurry," all of which describe similar kinds of movement or noise.
