What steam means
The invisible gas that forms when water is heated to its boiling point, often seen as white mist rising from hot liquids or used to power engines.
Where the word comes from
Steam comes from Old English *steam*, meaning vapor or smoke, from Proto-Germanic *staumaz*. The root likely relates to the Proto-Indo-European base meaning "to push" or "to thrust," reflecting the forceful, rising nature of hot vapor. Related forms appear in Old Norse *staum* (jet of water) and German *Staub* (dust), all sharing that sense of something shooting upward or dispersing forcefully through air.
