Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'volatile', originating from the Latin 'volatilis' meaning 'flying' or 'fleeting' (derived from 'volare', to fly), and 'oil', from the Old French 'oile' and Latin 'oleum'. Established in early modern chemistry and botany, it originally denoted any oil that evaporates readily at normal temperatures, later becoming synonymous with essential oils extracted from plants.
