This is not really a case of a word that takes two opposite meanings, but: Inflammable and flammable -- both mean the same thing. (Very volatile). -- Dilip D'Souza. ...!brunix!ddd

that "flammable" is properly a word is moot, but certainly neither it nor "infalmmable" means "very volatile": "volatile" means "capable of evaporation". water is nearly as volatile as gasoline, but not in the least inflammable. mARK bLOORE univ. of toronto
