单词 combure
释义 comˈbure, v. Obs.
[ad. OF. comburir (also in Pr.), ad. L. combūr-ĕre to burn up, consume.
The inflexion of combūrĕre is precisely like that of ūrĕre to burn, with its compounds ambūrĕre, adūrĕre, exūrĕre, etc., and it takes the place of a *com-ūrĕre; but the difficulty of accounting for comb- as a variety of the prefix has suggested a parallel radical *būrĕre, whence prob. bustum.]
1. trans. To burn up, consume by fire.
