Ardere · Flagrare
Ardere (from ἐρεύθειν) means to be in a visible glowing heat, like αἴθειν; on the other hand, flagrare, to be in bright flames, like φλέγεσθαι. Hence, metaphorically, ardere is applied to a secret passion; flagrare, to a passion that bursts forth. Cic. Or. iii. 2, 8. Non vidit Crassus flagrantem bello Italiam, non ardentem invidia senatum. (iv. 21.)

Origins
De Vaan argues that the term is probably a denominative to Proto-Italic *flagros (“burning”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰl̥g-ro-, from *bʰel- (“shine”). Cognate with Latin flamma (“flame, fire”) (< Proto-Italic *flagmā < Proto-Indo-European *bʰl̥g-mh₂-), Ancient Greek φλέγω (phlégō, “to burn”), Sanskrit भ्रज (bhrája, “fire, shining”), Italian brace (“embers, glowing coals”).
