Incendio (Fire-Making Spell)
Chapter 12
Description:Produces fire.
Etymology: Latin incendere, "To set fire(to)". Note that the first principal part of this verb(Meaning "I set fire") is incendo, not incendio; Rowling's incantation does not match exactly any correct conjugation of the verb. Incendio, in Portuguese (same pronunciation as in english) means 'huge fire'. "Encender" in Spanish means "to ignite" and "Incendie" in French means Flame. ( A plausible but less likely source might be that it is a back-formation from the English word "incendiary," i.e., "Causing fire.")
