What are the main differences between inflammable and flammable?
There are actually no differences between the words "flammable" and "inflammable" as they both mean that the object or item can burn easily. Many often mistake the word "inflammable" to mean that an item cannot or is resistant to fire, however this is not the case and actually comes from the word "inflame".
What is the difference between flammable and inflammable?
Both words mean the same thing, i.e. that something can be set on fire.The reason for the confusion comes from people thinking that the prefix in- of inflammable is the Latin negative prefix in- (which is commonly used in English, e.g. indecent). In actual fact, in this case it is derived from the Latin preposition in. It's easier to think about it with the word inflame. If you can inflame something, it is inflammable (inflame-able).In most cases, it is better to just use flammable to avoid confusion and accidents.
What are some words meanings that don't change much when you add an affix?
