Are flammable and inflammable synonyms?
Yes, oddly enough, they do mean the same thing.Normally the prefix "in" added to a word is a negative (like un) that means "not" or "unable to be". In this case the Latin intensive prefix in created inflammabilis (to inflame) from flammare (set fire to). This can be seen in the English word "inflame".The actual "not flammable" word is "nonflammable / non-flammable", or incombustible.

What is aprefix?
The question is probably "What is a prefix?". A prefix is the first part of a word that changes the word's meaning. For example, "uninterested" in this word "un" is the prefix and "un" means "not". Also, "indescribable", "in" is the prefix and "in" means "not" as well. One more: "inflammable", "in" is the prefix again. However, this "in" means "is" (inflammable = is flammable).

Is woodglue flammable?
Both. In the older days, "inflammable" meant something that is highly explosive or could catch fire easily. If you think about it, "inflammable" came from the word "inflame". "Inflammable" came first, though. But someone figured that the prefix "in-" would be confused for "non-flammable", and proposed that the word "flammable" should be used instead. So wood is flammable, but inflammable isn't wrong either.
