bốc cháy
/əˈbleɪz//əˈbleɪz/

Origin of the word ablaze

"Ablaze" is a fascinating blend of two older words: * **"a-"**: This prefix, meaning "on" or "in," is common in English (like "asleep" or "alive"). * **"blaze"**: This word comes from Old French "blase," meaning "flame" or "torch," ultimately derived from Latin "flamma" (flame). So, "ablaze" literally means "in flame," capturing the image of being engulfed by fire. Its first recorded use was in the 14th century, reflecting the importance of fire in daily life at that time.
