Provenance des termes :-fanion signalisateur : proposition d’après son utilité et par analogie avec son diminutif, le "fanion écarteur de danger";-fanion d’avertissement : d’après le drapeau du même nom, équivalent de "warning flag" et utilisé en opérations aériennes;-fanion fouet : terme relevé oralement à l'Office de la langue française mais dont on ne peut attester l'exactitude;-fanion d’alerte : reprise, sans majuscule, d’une marque de commerce de Bike-Up Canada pour ce type de fanion(il faut s’étonner que l'on ait accepté l'enregistrement d’un tel générique comme marque de commerce, ce qui réduit l'utilisation que nous pouvons faire de l'expression. 1, record 2, French, - fanion%20signalisateur
