覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
fly「飛ぶ」に -er が付いた形だが、この語義では人や乗り物でなく、駅や街頭で配る一枚物の「チラシ」。hand out a flyer、put a flyer on the notice board の場面を思い浮かべる。冊子の brochure や壁に貼る poster との違いも意識する。
Although flyer is built from fly plus -er, picture a light printed sheet being distributed quickly from person to person. In this sense, a flyer is a small, usually single-sheet notice advertising an event, shop, product, or public message. Typical combinations are hand out flyers, receive a flyer, and put a flyer on a notice board. Distinguish it from a brochure, which is often folded and contains more detailed information, and a poster, which is designed mainly to remain displayed on a wall.

flyer の語源・成り立ち Etymology
動詞 fly（飛ぶ）に行為者接尾辞 -er が付いた形。fly は古英語 flēogan（飛ぶ）に由来しゲルマン祖語に遡る。関連語: flight（飛行）、butterfly（蝶）。「飛ばすもの」から転じて、空中にばらまくビラ・チラシの意味が生まれた。
Flyer is formed from fly and the noun-forming suffix -er. Fly comes from Old English flēogan and has deep Germanic origins. Flyer first described a person or thing that flies, and it later acquired several specialized senses. Its use for a small advertising handbill developed from the idea of something circulated or distributed widely and quickly. The spelling flier is also used, especially for a person or object that flies.
