Relating to fire or burning; designed to cause fires; also, causing strong emotions or provoking conflict.
From Latin 'incendiarius' (setting fires); 'incendium' (fire) + '-ary' (relating to); from 'incendere' (to set on fire), literally meaning to kindle.
Incendiary bombs were designed to destroy entire cities through firestorms—Hamburg and Dresden in WWII experienced firestorms so intense they created their own wind systems that pulled oxygen from the air, making them even more destructive.
