Etymology
Trumpet-shaped comes from the musical instrument trumpet and the ending -shaped, meaning 'like a trumpet'. A trumpet has a narrow tube that opens into a wide bell, so trumpet-shaped describes something 'spreading outward from a narrow base to a wide opening', which is why we use it for flowers, skirts, or other things that flare out.
