Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: natural adj., gas n.¹

Etymology: < natural adj. + gas n.¹ Compare French gaz naturel (1830).

Originally North American.

Flammable hydrocarbon gas, consisting chiefly of methane and other simple alkanes, occurring naturally underground (often in association with petroleum) and used as a fuel.
