petite tige destinée à créer une flamme par friction
A match is a small stick with a chemical coating on its tip that ignites when struck against a rough surface, producing a flame for starting fires. Matches have been an important tool throughout history for reliably creating fire, making them useful for lighting candles, stoves, and other purposes before modern conveniences like lighters and electricity became widespread.

Une allumette est une petite tige de bois (généralement du peuplier, parfois de saule), de carton ou de chiffon, destinée à créer une flamme par friction avec son extrémité enduite d'un produit chimique inflammable, après quoi elle n'est plus utilisable. Le mot « allumette » date des environs de l'an 1200 pour désigner une petite bûche destinée à faire prendre le feu. Les allumettes sont vendues généralement en nombre, conditionnées en boîtes ou en pochettes de carton.
