"Gonfalon is a rectangular panel from two equal horizontal strips - red and dark blue. In the centre of it is white blossoming mokrets with seven flowers. (<www.brovary-region.com.ua/silrada/silrada.htm>)".
Concering the number of flowers, they probably counted the two pairs of leaves (?) as flowers too.

According to legends, the village has received the name from a curative grass "mokrets'" which local settlers picked up. Mokrets and Zavorychi are double village on the left and right Trubizh river coasts on distance of one kilometer one from one. During a serfdom village belonged to nobiliary families Solonyn, Afendik, Baranovs'kyi. The Soviet power in village was established only at 1929.
