I knew flaneur as an adjective in German, for example when you go on a walk through a shopping street, without any intent of shopping you go “flanieren”. Just having a walk, looking at stores and people.

It appears we took it from French, but we have it nevertheless.

It’s a french word too, though that usually translates more to loitering

Yeah désuet and flâneur are as common in French as abandoned and loiterer are in English. I’d say only the first word describes something that there isn’t another common word for.

It is, but I can’t say I would use it in everyday conversation like the other two.

I still see them used regularly, it’s different than those English words most people don’t even know.

I remember hearing eudaimonia many years ago and thought that I can’t wait for it. I haven’t heard it since then and the state of the world reminds me I may never again.
