Etymology
Hydrogenate comes from hydrogen, which itself is made of Greek parts hydro- 'water' (seen in words like 'hydroelectric') and -gen 'maker', plus the ending -ate meaning 'to make'. So to hydrogenate is to 'add hydrogen' to something — in chemistry this means putting hydrogen atoms into a substance, which is exactly what the process does.
