Etymology:
Re- + fuel
Meaning:
To fill up (a vehicle, machine, or device) with fuel again.
Origin:
The term "refuel" first appeared in the early 20th century to describe the process of replenishing the fuel supply of an aircraft or automobile. It was derived from the earlier term "feed," which was commonly used to describe the process of providing food or fuel to an engine or motor.
As aircraft and automobiles became more common, the term "refuel" became widely used to refer specifically to the process of replenishing their fuel tanks. In the military, the term is used to describe the process of refueling military vehicles, aircraft, and ships during operations or exercises.
