About the Word:
The prefix pyro- has an ancestor in the Greek pyr meaning "fire".
Pyro- appears in dozens of terms,
ranging from pyrotechnics (fireworks)
to pyromania (an irresistible impulse to start fires).
Do you know pyro- is also used as a prefix for chemical materials? Pyrophosphate is a familiar material in biochemistry.
