How Do You Spell REFUELLED?

Pronunciation: [ɹɪfjˈuːld] (IPA)

The word "refuelled" (pronounced as /riːˈfjʊəld/) is spell with a double "l" and "e" at the end. This is because it follows the general rule of adding -ed to the base form of a verb to make it past tense. However, as the last syllable of "fuel" is pronounced with a short vowel sound, the final "l" is doubled to keep the "u" sound short. The additional "e" is added to maintain the pronunciation of the word and avoid confusion with "refueled".

REFUELLED Meaning and Definition

Refuel means to supply a vehicle, aircraft, or machinery with the necessary fuel, typically in order to continue operating or complete a journey.

The act of refuelling usually involves filling the fuel tank of the vehicle or equipment with the appropriate type of fuel, such as gasoline, diesel, or aviation fuel.

   The process of refuelling varies depending on the type of vehicle or equipment. It can be as simple as pumping fuel into a vehicle's gas tank at a service station or using specialized refuelling equipment, hoses, and mechanisms in more complex situations, such as aircraft refuelling or refuelling large vessels.

   Refuelled describes the action of having completed the refuelling process in the past. It implies that the vehicle or equipment has been supplied with the necessary fuel and is now ready for operation or continued use.

Etymology of REFUELLED

The word "refuelled" is derived from the combination of the prefix "re-" and the verb "fuel".

The prefix "re-" comes from Latin and means "again" or "back". It is used to indicate repetition or restoration. In the case of "refuelled", it indicates the action of fueling again or replenishing the supply of fuel.

The verb "fuel" comes from Old French "feuaile" and ultimately from the Latin word "focus", which means "hearth" or "fireplace". Over time, it developed into the noun "fuel", referring to any material used for burning or energy production. The verb form, "to fuel", emerged from the noun, and it means to supply with fuel or provide energy to a system or vehicle.

When "re-" is added to "fuel", it creates "refuel", which means the process of supplying fuel again.
