Oil

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

Oil is a generic term for fluids that are not miscible with water. The name comes from Latin oleum for olive oil.

Oil is frequently used to refer to petroleum – an "oil shortage" generally means an inadequate supply of petroleum rather than cooking oil. Oil is used frequently in politics and the media when referring to dependence on "foreign oil", or oil that is imported from other countries. Petrocide is the term that defines the corporate sponsored banishment or expulsion of the indigenous peoples in regions with oil.
