Root Explanation

Fueling → It is formed from "fuel" (from Old French *fouaille*, meaning to feed or supply) and "-ing" (a suffix used to indicate the action or process of). The word "fueling" refers to the process of supplying energy or feeding something, typically in the context of engines or fires.

Memory Tip

Think of 'fuel' as something that 'feeds' energy, and the '-ing' shows that it's the action of providing that energy. So, fueling means the act of supplying energy.
