INFLAMMABLE armor perk name makes no sense?

[Vicpool]

So the new fire resistance armor perk is called "Inflammable", but shouldn't it be something like "Fireproof"? Cause as much as I understand, we call things "inflammable" when they are prone to catching fire (not the scientific description, but you know what I mean ). I may be wrong, or they trying to make some words game, but doesn't look like the proper term to me. Just being a bit Jiminy Cricket here, cause I'm not even interested in the warbond, but read that and looked pretty wrong to me, so just saying in case it's a "mistake"

Arrowheads ability to make mistakes extend far beyond the gaming realm and into lexical errors. This comes as no surprise to me.

"insulation" would be the correct word.

I may have found the material they used.

Nonflammable, ack-tually.

Arrowhead is a Swedish company so it might be something that got scuffed during translation, Inflammable and Flammable being conflated to mean the same thing is because they both originate from Latin, Inflammare and Flammare respectively and whilst 'In' is commonly used in English to denote an opposite or inverted connotation when applied to a word, in this specific context it makes no difference as the word itself and the common understanding of the word doesn't obey English grammatical rules.

the naming probably went through the same positions as the balancing aka pants on head.
