means A turbine-driven device that uses an engine's own exhaust gases to compress extra air into the cylinders, boosting power without adding engine size.

from From 'turbo,' rooted in Latin 'turbo' meaning whirl or spinning top, combined with 'charger' in the sense of one that charges or loads — here, loading the engine with pressurized air. The technology itself traces to early 20th-century engineering work on exhaust-driven turbines, with the term 'turbocharger' following as a natural label once the spinning exhaust-powered compressor became a named part.
