Etymology
Oxidation comes from oxygen, a name made from the Greek parts oxys 'acid' and -gen 'producer' because early scientists thought oxygen made acids. So oxidation originally meant 'combining with oxygen', which you can see when iron meets oxygen and makes rust, and today it also covers cases where a substance 'loses electrons'.
