gasification
UK: ˌɡæsɪfɪˈkeɪʃən | US: ˌɡæsəfəˈkeɪʃən
n. the process of converting a solid or liquid substance into gas, typically through chemical reactions or heat application.
The word "gasification" combines "gas," derived from the Greek "khaos" (meaning "empty space" or "vapor"), with the suffix "-ify" (from Latin "-ificare," meaning "to make"). The "-cation" suffix (from Latin "-atio") turns the verb into a noun denoting the process. The term emerged in the 19th century to describe industrial processes like coal gasification, reflecting scientific advancements in energy conversion.
