Word origin

The word 'oxidizable' is derived from the noun 'oxidize', which comes from the French word 'oxidation' and ultimately from the Latin word 'oxydare', meaning 'to bring forth acid'. The concept of oxidation has been known since ancient times, with early references to the process found in the works of ancient Greek and Roman scholars. The modern understanding of oxidation and the term 'oxidizable' emerged in the field of chemistry in the 18th century with the development of the oxygen theory of combustion.
