Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of the English word 'gas' (coined in the 17th century by J. B. van Helmont from the Greek 'chaos') and the noun 'absorption', stemming from the Latin 'absorptio', from 'absorbere' (to swallow up). The combined chemical engineering term emerged in the late 19th century with the rise of industrial chemical processing.
