that makes me wonder why gaslighting is called gaslighting

deleted by creator

Fun fact, the reason why gasoline was called gas is because back in the day, its only use was as lamp fuel. It was much less dense and had a much higher vapour pressure than kerosene, the other common lamp fuel, and gasoline (aka white gas) lamps took advantage of that with a special tube that boiled the fuel into vapour (a gas) so it could be used to light a gas mantle, which would be much brighter than a bare flame for the same amount of fuel burned.

So yeah, gaslighting.
