Nous avons pensé à un néologisme comme «inflammatibilité», pour décrire la capacité d'une substance à produire l'inflammation, mais il y aurait danger de confusion avec la notion de l'aptitude de cette substance à s'enflammer elle-même. La même remarque s'applique pour le terme «allumabilité», auquel nous avons aussi songé : on pourrait croire en effet qu'il s'agit de la capacité de s'allumer (verbe pronominal), au lieu de la capacité d'allumer (verbe transitif). 2, record 1, French, - incendivit%C3%A9
