combustor

/kõ.busˈtoʁ/ noun

A chamber acting as the furnace in a jet engine or turbine engine, where intense combustion is induced.

Word Origin Combust comes from Latin comburere, literally 'to burn up' (com- intensive + urere 'to burn'). A combustor is something that burns, with the agent suffix -or. The breakdown com+bust+or shows the intensive prefix, the root bust- (from urere, with a past participle bustum), and the doer suffix. The same root gives us combustion, combustible, and burn (through Germanic).

noun A chamber acting as the furnace in a jet engine or turbine engine, where intense combustion is induced. countable
