+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ The verb meant to burn up completely, to burn down, and also to burn things together.^(OLD 2012) L&S doubts that it was used before the Augustan period,^(Lewis & Short 1879) and the TLL observes that among the poets only Seneca's tragedies have it, twice.^(TLL) In Ecclesiastical Latin it keeps the sense “to burn up, consume”.^(Stelten 1995)
