Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish fuego, from Late Latin focus (“fire”), from Latin focus (“hearth”). The form huego, which began to be used around 1500, was mostly replaced by the form starting with -f-. Compare Portuguese fogo. Cognate with English fuel. Compare also English focus. Doublet of foco, which is a borrowing from Latin.
