Gasoline
wiktionary
From Cazeline (possibly influenced by Gazeline, the name of an Irish copy), a brand of petroleum-derived lighting oil, [1] from the surname of the man who first marketed it in 1862, John Cassell, [2] and the suffix –eline. The name Cassell is from Anglo-Norman castel [3] (cognate of English castle), from Old French castel, from Latin castellum, diminutive of castrum. The suffix -eline is from Ancient Greek ἔλαιον(élaion, “oil, olive oil”), from ἐλαία(elaía, “olive”). Gasolene is found from 1863, and gasoline from 1864. [4]
etymonline
gasoline (n.)
"light, volatile liquid obtained from distillation of petroleum," 1864, a variant of gasolene (from 1863 in Britain), which apparently was a trade name at first, from gas (n.1) in its then-popular loose sense of "compound of gases used for illuminating and heating purposes;" the -ol probably here represents Latin oleum "oil" and the ending is from the chemical suffix -ine (2). Shortened form gas was in common use in U.S. by 1897. Gas station as a fuel filling station for automobiles recorded by 1924.
