Webster's 1828 Dictionary

FLOW

v.i.[L. fluo, contracted from fugo, for it forms fluri, fuctum. In one case, the word would agree with the root of blow, L. flo; in the other, with the root of fly. ] 1. To move along an inclined plane, or on descending ground, by the operation of gravity, and with a continual change of place among the particles or parts, as a fluid. A solid body descends or moves in mass, as a ball or a wheel; but in the flowing of liquid substances, and others consisting of very fine particles, there is a constant change of the relative position of some parts of the substance, as in the case with a stream of water, of quicksilver, and of sand. Particles at the bottom and sides of the stream, being somewhat checked by friction, move slower than those in the middle and near the surface of the current. Rivers flow from springs and lakes; tears flow from the eyes.
2. To melt; to become liquid.
That the mountains might flow down at they presence. Isaiah 64:1.
3. To proceed; to issue. Evils flow from different sources. Wealth flows from industry and economy. All our blessings flow from divine bounty
4. To abound; to have in abundance.
In that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk. Joel 3:18.
5. To be full; to be copious; as flowing cups or goblets.
6. To glide along smoothly, without harshness or asperity; as a flowing period; flowing numbers.
7. To be smooth, as composition or utterance. The orator has a flowing tongue.
Virgil is sweet and flowing in his hexameters.
8. To hang loose and waving; as a flowing mantle; flowing locks.
The imperial purple flowing in his train.
9. To rise, as the tide; opposed to ebb. The tide flows twice in twenty four hours.
1 . To move in the arteries and veins of the body; to circulate, as blood.
11. To issue, as rays or beams of light.
Light flows from the sun.
12. To move in a stream, as air.

FLOWER

n.[L. flos, floris, a flower; floreo, to blossom. See Flourish. ] 1. In botany, that part of a plant which contains the organs of fructification, with their coverings. A flower, when complete, consists of a calyx, corol, stamen and pistil; but the essential parts are the anther and stigma, which are sufficient to constitute a flower, either together in hermaphrodite flowers, or separate in male and female flowers.
2. In vulgar acceptation, a blossom or flower is the flower bud of a plant, when the petals are expanded; open petals being considered as the principal thing in constituting a flower. But in botany, the petals are now considered as a finer sort of covering, and not at all necessary to constitute a flower.
3. The early part of life, or rather of manhood; the prime; youthful vigor; youth; as the flower of age or of life.
4. The best or finest part of a thing; the most valuable part. The most active and vigorous part of an army are called the flower of the troops. Young, vigorous and brave men are called the flower of a nation.
5. The finest part; the essence.
The choice and flower of all things profitable the Psalms do more briefly contain.
6. He or that which is most distinguished for any thing valuable. We say, the youth are the flower of the country.
7. The finest part of grain pulverized. In this sense, it is now always written flour, which see.
1. Flowers, in chimistry, fine particles of bodies, especially when raised by fire in sublimation, and adhering to the heads of vessels in the form of a powder or mealy substance; as the flowers of sulphur.
A substance, somewhat similar, formed spontaneously, is called efforescence.
2. In rhetoric, figures and ornaments of discourse or composition.
3. Menstrual discharges.
