Etymology

The word 'flame' originates from the Latin word 'flamma', which means 'fire' or 'burning light'. It has been part of the English language since at least the 14th century. The verb form, 'to flame', evolved to describe the action of burning, reflecting the physical characteristics of fire. As language and communication shifted to digital mediums in the late 20th century, the term adapted to describe a type of hostile communication, largely in forums and chat rooms. The evolution of 'flaming' reflects the changing nature of interpersonal interactions in the age of technology, highlighting both the aggressive expression of opinion and the risks of anonymity online.
