Etymology

The term 'refuel' is derived from combining the prefix 're-', meaning again or back, with the word 'fuel', which comes from the Latin 'focalis', meaning 'pertaining to a hearth or fireplace'. The use of 'fuel' in English can be traced back to the 14th century, where it referred to material that produces energy when consumed. The concept of replenishing or supplying again has been integral to many industries, especially those involving machinery or transportation. The evolution of the word captures the essential practice of maintaining energy supplies, which remains vital in modern contexts, such as aviation, automotive, and various industrial applications.
