DEFLAGRATE Meaning and Definition

1. Deflagrate is a verb that refers to the process of burning or combusting rapidly and with a sudden burst of flame. It describes the action of a substance undergoing combustion, often in a rapid and explosive manner.

   When a material deflagrates, it undergoes a chemical reaction in which heat is produced rapidly, causing it to burn and ignite with a visible flame. This process is commonly associated with the combustion of flammable substances, such as fuels, gases, or volatile chemicals. The sudden release of heat and combustion products can result in an explosion or a noticeable, violent burst of flames.

   The term "deflagrate" is typically used in scientific contexts, particularly in chemistry or pyrotechnics. It distinguishes the combustion process from other forms of fire propagation, such as detonation or explosion, which occur at much higher velocities. Deflagration generally occurs at a subsonic speed, as the combustion front moves through the substance in a slower and more controlled manner.

   Overall, deflagrate describes the action of a substance igniting and burning rapidly, producing a burst of flames and heat. It highlights a type of combustion characterized by its relatively slower speed compared to explosive reactions.

2. To set fire to; to burn rapidly.

Etymology of DEFLAGRATE

The word "deflagrate" is derived from the Latin verb "deflagrare", which can be broken down into two components: "de" meaning "down" or "away", and "flagrare" meaning "to burn" or "to blaze". Thus, "deflagrare" originally referred to the process of burning or blazing down or away. Over time, the term was adopted into English with the meaning of rapid combustion or explosive burning.
