Notes on Meaning
- The term 'hoả diệm sơn' is a compound word from Sino-Vietnamese roots: 'hoả' (fire), 'diệm' (flame), and 'sơn' (mountain). It literally translates to 'fire-flame-mountain'. This explanation is provided because the target word itself is a compound. Its sole meaning is 'volcano', but it carries a classical, descriptive nuance compared to the neutral, modern 'núi lửa'.
