Turbocharger (noun)

A device that increases the air pressure fed to an internal combustion engine, resulting in improved engine performance and efficiency.

Origin:

From the latin word turbo, which means 'whirl, spin' and the english word 'charge', meaning 'to fill or pump up'.

Examples:

1. Turbochargers are commonly used in high-performance engines to increase horsepower and torque.
2. The turbocharger works by compressing air before it enters the engine, which leads to a more efficient combustion process.
3. Turbocharged engines tend to have a more aggressive power delivery compared to naturally aspirated engines.
4. Turbochargers can experience lag at low engine speeds, but respond quickly when the engine is under load.
5. The use of turbochargers has become widespread in the automotive industry, both in sports cars and in everyday vehicles.
