Word origin
The word "fueling" originated from the Old French word "feuaile" meaning "fuel, tinder", which came from the Latin word "focus" meaning "hearth, fireplace". Over time, the word evolved to refer to any material that is burned to produce heat or power. The concept of fueling has been essential throughout history, from the use of wood and coal in ancient times to the modern use of oil, gas, and renewable energy sources.
