spark plug (part of an internal combustion engine which forms a high-voltage electric spark which ignites the fuel-air mixture to begin the power stroke)
köken: From Dutch bougie, from French bougie (“spark plug, candle”), ultimately from French Bougie, the historical French name for the Algerian town of Béjaïa.
From Bugia (“Béjaïa”), a port in Algeria from which wax for candlemaking was imported, from Arabic بِجَايَة (bijāya), from Berber. The sense of "spark plug" is a semantic loan from French bougie which has the same origin.
