Just say "rate".

Consider the following two sentences.

"Inflation has eaten away at my ability to afford childcare"

"Inflation rate has eaten away at my ability to afford childcare"

I think the first sentence is perfectly cromulant and doesn't mean the same thing as the second which is actually nonsensical.

This suggests that "inflation" doesn't mean "inflation rate" even to economists. Right?
