Flammed

/flæmd/ adjective

Definition

Adorned with or decorated by having something set on fire, or marked with flame-like patterns.

Etymology

Kelly Says

In medieval heraldry, 'flammed' described shields and banners with wavy, flame-shaped patterns—soldiers could recognize their allies from across a battlefield partly through these dramatic flame designs.
