fuelling
Providing energy source
Fuelling is the British spelling of fueling, the present participle of fuel.
To fuel something is to supply it with a source of energy, whether literally fuelling the aircraft before takeoff or figuratively fuelling speculation about his resignation.
The metaphorical sense dominates in everyday usage, where fuelling suggests sustaining or intensifying something: fears, rumors, demand, growth, debate.
What fuels a fire keeps it burning; what fuels controversy keeps it going.
