in•flam′ma•bly, adv.

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 usu. used in nontechnical and figurative contexts: inflammable clothing; an inflammable temper.
