Do the words flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?

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.
