Exegesis
The temporal expression en mia hemera {ἐν μιᾷ ἡμέρᾳ | en miâ hē-mérā} ‘in one day’ is placed early for emphasis on suddenness.
The result clause kai en puri katakauthethesetai {καὶ ἐν πυρὶ κατακαυθήσεται | kaí en py-rí ka-ta-kau-thḗ-se-tai} employs the passive future with prefix kata- to convey comprehensive burning.
Root and etymology
pentheōpi–epsilon–nu–theta–epsilon–omega

In context — Revelation 18:8
For this reason, in one day her plagues will come—death, and mourning, and famine—and she will be burned up with fire, for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.
