Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'gas', coined in the 17th century by Dutch chemist Jan Baptist van Helmont (derived from the Greek word 'chaos'), and 'leak', originating from Middle English 'leken', meaning to drip or pass liquid or gas through a crack. Together, the compound phrase became prominent with the widespread industrial use of natural gas and manufactured gas in the 19th and 20th centuries.
