incendiary
의미: Designed to cause fires; figuratively, tending to inflame passions, provoke conflict, or stir up strong emotions.
Incendiary operates in both literal and figurative registers. Literally, an incendiary device is one designed to start fires — a firebomb or arson tool. Figuratively, it describes rhetoric, actions, or individuals that deliberately inflame tensions or provoke outrage. The figurative sense is extremely common in political commentary. It collocates with 'incendiary device', 'incendiary remarks', 'incendiary rhetoric', and 'politically incendiary'.
