Meaning of piroquinesis




furoya

piroquinesis
  6

It is a neologism created by Stephen Edwin King for his novel Firestarter (1980) where his character Charlene "Charlie" McGee has the ability to set fires using psychic powers. This word links pyromania ("deliberate arson") with telekinesis ("ability to move objects at a distance with the mind"), although in practice a pastiche for "movement of fire" remained by the Greek 960; 965; 961; (PYR "fire") 954; 953; 957; 951; 963; 953; 962; (kinesis "movement").
