'flaunted' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, adjectives and past participle verbs sometimes mean the same thing.

'rare animal fur i' is the wordplay.
'rare' is an anagram indicator.
'animal'+'fur'+'i'='animalfuri'
'animalfuri' anagrammed gives 'UNFAMILIAR'.
