What does FLAMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
literaryarchaic
Resembling flame; bright, fiery or blazing in appearance.
Flamy is an old and now rare way of describing something that looks like fire, whether in color, movement or brightness, such as a flamy sunset or a flamy glow from embers. The word appears mostly in older poetry and literary prose, where writers wanted a vivid, fire-like image without using the more ordinary fiery. Because it sounds unfamiliar to modern ears, flamy is rarely used in everyday speech today and survives chiefly as a stylistic choice in older or deliberately old-fashioned writing. It is built directly from flame with the common adjective ending -y.
