Root Explanation

Conflagrant → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "flagrare" (meaning to burn). The word describes something that is burning intensely or is in a state of combustion, often used to refer to a fire that is widespread and consuming.

Memory Tip

Think of things 'burning together' — 'con-' means together, and 'flagrare' means to burn. This helps you remember that 'conflagrant' refers to something that is burning intensely.
