Usage Note
Enflure denotes pathological swelling of tissue (synonym: gonflement, œdème). In literary or rhetorical contexts it can mean bombast or inflated language. In Quebec French enflure is also a very rude insult; learners should be aware of this regional use to avoid misunderstandings.
Examples
"L'enflure de la cheville a disparu après quelques jours."
Natural Translation
The swelling of the ankle went away after a few days.
