Is there such a word as inflammate?

Answer 1

No. The verb is "to inflame", which means to set afire. From a linguistic and medical point of view, there is no entity that causes an inflammation, there is thus no pathogenic entity present. There is no bacteria or virus that can actively cause an flammation, thus there is nothing that can "inflammate"; although recent studies have suggested that inflammations can be caused by non-pathogenic entities (harmless bacteria for example that have become harmfull due to a possible number of circumstances).
