Spewing or vomiting flames; capable of ejecting fire like a volcano.
From Latin flamma (flame) combined with vomere (to vomit or spew). Describes things that eject flames as if regurgitating them.
Ancient Romans used this dramatic term for volcanoes and occasionally for mythological fire-breathing creatures—'Mount Vesuvius flammivomous' sounded far more terrifying than our clinical modern descriptions.
