Etymology
The word 'petrolled' originates from the root word 'petrol', which is a term predominantly used in British English to refer to the fuel derived from petroleum. The term 'petrol' itself comes from the French word 'pétrole' and ultimately from the Latin word 'petroleum', meaning 'rock oil' or 'oil from rocks'. The practice of using petrol to fuel internal combustion engines became widespread in the early 20th century with the rise of automobiles. As the automotive industry grew, so did the usage of the verb form 'petroll' and its past participle 'petrolled' in everyday language, specifically referencing the action of filling up a vehicle with petrol. Today, while 'gas' is more common in American English, 'petrol' remains widely used in various regions.
