Etymology of IN CREMATE

The word cremate comes from the Latin word cremare, which means to burn. The Latin term itself is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *ker- which also meant to burn. Over time, cremare was borrowed into various Romance languages, including Old French as cremater, which then entered Middle English as cremate. The word in is a prefix commonly used to indicate negation or lack of something. When combined, in-cremate simply means not to burn or to not be burned.
