From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :
Flavor \Fla"vor\, n. [OF. fleur, flaur (two syllables), odor,
cf. F. fleurer to emit an odor, It. flatore a bad odor, prob.
fr. L. flare to bow, whence the sense of exhalation. Cf.
Blow.] [Written also flavour.]
1. That quality of anything which affects the smell; odor;
fragrances; as, the flavor of a rose.
2. That quality of anything which affects the taste; that
quality which gratifies the palate; relish; zest; savor;
as, the flavor of food or drink.
3. That which imparts to anything a peculiar odor or taste,
gratifying to the sense of smell, or the nicer perceptions
of the palate; a substance which flavors.
4. That quality which gives character to any of the
productions of literature or the fine arts.

Jargon File (4.3.0, 30 APR 2001) :
flavor n. 1. [common] Variety, type, kind. "DDT commands come in two
flavors." "These lights come in two flavors, big red ones and small
green ones." "Linux is a flavor of Unix" See vanilla. 2. The attribute
that causes something to be flavorful. Usually used in the phrase
"yields additional flavor". "This convention yields additional flavor by
allowing one to print text either right-side-up or upside-down." See
vanilla. This usage was certainly reinforced by the terminology of
quantum chromodynamics, in which quarks (the constituents of, e.g.,
protons) come in six flavors (up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom) and
three colors (red, blue, green) -- however, hackish use of `flavor' at
MIT predated QCD. 3. The term for `class' (in the object-oriented sense)
in the LISP Machine Flavors system. Though the Flavors design has been
superseded (notably by the Common LISP CLOS facility), the term `flavor'
is still used as a general synonym for `class' by some LISP hackers.
