inflamer

/ɪnˈfleɪmə(ɹ)/ noun

Something that inflames.

Word Origin From Latin inflammare 'to set on fire,' from in- 'in' and flamma 'flame' — an inflamer is someone who kindles flames, literally or figuratively. The same root gives us inflame, inflammation (a burning in the body), and flammable (able to be set on fire). The PIE root *bhel- means 'to shine, flash, burn,' also giving us blaze and bleach.
