单词	inflammable
释义	inflammable —inflammability, inflammableness, n. —inflammably, adv. /in flam"euh beuhl/, adj. 1. capable of being set on fire; combustible; flammable. 2. easily aroused or excited, as to passion or anger; irascible: an inflammable disposition. n. 3. something inflammable. [1595-1605; < ML inflammabilis, equiv. to L inflamma(re) to INFLAME + -bilis -BLE] Syn. 2. fiery, volatile, choleric. Usage. INFLAMMABLE and FLAMMABLE both mean "combustible." INFLAMMABLE is the older by about 200 years. FLAMMABLE now has certain technical uses, particularly as a warning on vehicles carrying combustible materials, because of a belief that some might interpret the intensive prefix IN- of INFLAMMABLE as a negative prefix and thus think the word means "noncombustible." INFLAMMABLE is the word more usually used in nontechnical and figurative contexts: The speaker ignited the inflammable emotions of the crowd.
