The word "geyser" originates from the Icelandic word "geysir," which means "to gush." It specifically refers to the Geysir geothermal area in Iceland, where the Strokkur geyser famously erupts regularly. The term was popularized in the 18th century to describe similar hot springs that eject water and steam, and it has since been adopted in various languages to refer to such natural phenomena worldwide.
