Etymology
The word 'fuel' comes from the Latin word 'focalis', which means 'of the hearth'. It evolved through Old French 'fuel' in the 14th century, referring originally to firewood or material used for combustion. Over time, the term has expanded to include a wide variety of substances that produce energy, including coal, gasoline, and natural gas. The verb form established itself in the English language by the early 20th century, reflecting the industrial and technological advancements of the time that necessitated various forms of fuel for engines and machinery. Nowadays, 'fuel' is commonly used in both literal and figurative senses, emphasizing its importance in both physical and emotional contexts.
