Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek ἐμπύρωσις.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ἐμπύρωσις kindling, heating < Hellenistic Greek ἐμπυροῦν to set on fire (although this is apparently first attested later; < ancient Greek ἐμ- , variant (before a labial) of ἐν- en- prefix² + πυροῦν to set on fire, burn: see pyrosis n.) + -σις -sis suffix.

Now rare.

A large or widespread fire, a conflagration. Chiefly figurative.
