Airs

Allure ( French allure "gait", "behavior"; used almost only in the plural) is generally a term for conspicuous or exaggerated human behavior. According to the Duden , this is used to describe "out of the ordinary manners", "conspicuous behavior" and "behavior", often derogatory in educational language. In particular, it denotes a vain, moody behavior, which is used in a negative sense, especially against the quirks and behavior of divas , stars or other representatives of show business ("starry airs").

Allure , in frequent use as Pluraletantum airs for, habits, striking manners 'was the 19th century from the French early allures (plural) or allure (singular) for, habits, manners, behavior, history' borrowed ; it was preceded by the middle French allure and old French aleure for 'gang (art), run'. The gait of horses was also referred to as allure or allure .
