Deng, the very eveel genius said...: Why is there two words with the same meaning and only two letters extra? Why ah?; October 31, 2009 2:19 AM
cheahwey said...: the prefix "in" in English means "not/no". But this prefix here is Latin, and it means "to burn". So there's this mix up.
In fact, inflammable is older than flammable.
