The word 'flex' originates from the Latin 'flectere', meaning 'to bend'. The sense of 'to show off' is a more recent, informal development, emerging in the late 20th century, particularly within hip-hop culture, where 'flexing muscles' evolved into 'flexing' generally as a display of power, wealth, or status.
