"Flashback [cost]" means "You may cast this card from your graveyard by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost" and "If the flashback cost was paid, exile this card instead of putting it anywhere else any time it would leave the stack."

2021-03-19wotc

If a card with flashback is put into your graveyard during your turn, you can cast it if it's legal to do so before any other player can take any actions.

2021-03-19wotc

A spell cast using flashback will always be exiled afterward, whether it resolves, is countered, or leaves the stack in some other way.
