You're built to win it. Today's word is flamboyant, spelled F-L-A-M-B-O-Y-A-N-T. Flamboyant is an adjective.

Someone or something described as flamboyant has a very noticeable quality that attracts a lot of attention.

Such a person or thing is often strikingly elaborate or colorful in their behavior or display.

Here's the word used in a sentence from Slate.

Helen McCrory's flamboyant and perfectly drawn portrayal of Polly was the show's real treasure,

a steel-willed matriarch, unusually attuned to the mysticism of the Shelby family's Romani roots,

who also served as a ruthlessly pragmatic concily. McCrory's Polly was so electric that the show remained totally riveting

any time she was on screen. Associate the word flamboyant with bananas flambay, and the words

fiery etymology will be seared in your mind. Flamboyant, which was borrowed into English

from French in the 19th century,

can be traced back to the old French word flamb, meaning flame. In its earliest uses,

flamboyant referred to an ornate style of Gothic architecture, popular in France and Spain,

which featured waving curves suggestive of flames. Eventually, the word developed

a more general second sense for anything eye-catching or showy. And, of course, flamb is also the

origin of the English adjective flambé, which describes food flamboyantly dressed or served with flaming liquor.
