A fioritur is the playing around a melody in art singing (this term is also used in instrumental music). The term "Canto fiorito" literally means "decorated song" and originally comes from the time of the castrati . Coloraturas are closely related to this , but they usually extend over several bars and have a significantly larger range due to arpeggios and runs.
