Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'vapor' (steam, exhalation) combined with the French suffix '-isation' (or English '-ization'). It entered scientific and technical English in the late 18th century during the Industrial Revolution, evolving from general references to steaming into precise thermodynamic terminology describing phase transition into gas.
