Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the English 'fuel' (from Old Northern French 'fual', ultimately from Latin 'focus') and 'injector' (from Latin 'inject-intoxicatus', past participle of 'injicere', meaning to throw into). The term emerged in the 20th century with the development of internal combustion engines requiring precise atomization of liquid fuel.
