<!----
The first part of the word is of obscure origin, but the first use of the term "coal" in [[English language|English]] was as a reference to charcoal. In this compound term, the prefix "chare-" meant "turn", with the literal meaning being "to turn to coal". The independent use of "char", meaning to scorch, to reduce to carbon, is comparatively recent and is assumed to be a [[back-formation]] from the earlier charcoal. It may be a use of the word ''charren'' or ''churn'', meaning to turn; i.e. wood changed or turned to [[coal]], or it may be from the [[French (language)|French]] ''charbon''. A person who manufactured charcoal was formerly known as a [[wiktionary:collier|collier]] (also as a wood collier). The word "collier" was also used for those who mined or dealt in coal, and for the ships that transported it.
