Meaning and Origin:
The word "flue" originally referred to a flow or discharge. It was first used to describe the flow of liquids, such as water or pus. In the 15th century, the term began to be used specifically for the channel or passage through which smoke and combustion gases escape from a fireplace, stove, or furnace.
This usage of "flue" is derived from the Latin word "fluxus," which means "flow." The flue allows combustion gases to flow out of the heating system and into the atmosphere.
Over time, the meaning of "flue" has expanded to include any type of passage or duct that carries gases or liquids. For example, the term can be used to refer to a chimney flue, a ventilation flue, or a drainage flue.
