Chief or principal fire; in religious contexts, the sacred or eternal flame, or the fires of hell.
From Greek 'archi-' (chief, principal) + 'fire' (from Old English 'fyr'). Rare term used in religious and mystical writing to describe supreme fire either divine or infernal.
In medieval theology, 'archfire' could mean either the holy flame of God's presence or the consuming fire of damnation—the same word used for opposites depending on context shows how powerful symbols shift meaning!
