Etymology
Fermentation comes from the old word ferment, meaning 'leaven', the thing that makes bread rise, and from fervere meaning 'to boil'. Think of bubbling yeast or grape juice changing into alcohol; that 'bubbling' and change is why fermentation now means the chemical process that turns sugars into alcohol and other simpler substances.
