Late Middle English (in the sense 'make a fillip with the fingers'): symbolic; compare with flick, flip¹.

Back in the Middle Ages fillip meant simply ‘a flick of the finger’, and probably came into use because the sound was felt to represent the movement. Flip (mid 16th century) is probably a shortening, expanded in turn in the early 17th century to form flippant.
