Etymology

The term 'degassed' is derived from the prefix 'de-', which means 'removal' or 'reverse', and 'gas', which comes from the Latin word 'gas', meaning 'to produce'. The usage of 'gas' as a term for vaporous substances became common in the 17th century, primarily associated with the studies of chemists like Robert Boyle and Joseph Priestley. The concept of removing gas from liquids or solids has been understood and utilized for centuries, particularly in fields like chemistry, physics, and engineering. Over time, the process of degassing has evolved with advancements in technology and understanding of gases and their interactions with different materials, leading to more efficient methods in both laboratory and industrial settings.
