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.

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).
Inflammable and flammable. They mean the same thing even though many people are mistaken because you would assume with the prefix in- ( which usually means not) they're antonyms. Hope this helps!
No. they are synonyms, meaning about the same thing.Sometimes the word inflammable is used to mean "can become inflamed", which is a slightly different use.
Yes Makeup is Flammable
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.
