单词 combure
释义

comburev.

Etymology: < Old French comburir (also in Provençal), < Latin combūrĕre to burn up, consume. The inflection of combūrĕre is precisely like that of ūrĕre to burn, with its compounds ambūrĕre, adūrĕre, exūrĕre, etc., and it takes the place of a *com-ūrĕre; but the difficulty of accounting for comb- as a variety of the prefix has suggested a parallel radical *būrĕre, whence probably bustum.
Obsolete.
1. transitive. To burn up, consume by fire.
