How it's used
This term is a specific loanword from the English word "trumpet" and is primarily used to describe objects that flare out at the end. It is quite niche and often sounds slightly playful or old-fashioned depending on the speaker's generation. You will rarely hear it used in formal writing or professional design contexts.
