fuels
Stokes the fire
Fuels is the plural of fuel—substances burned to produce energy or power: fossil fuels, alternative fuels.
The verb fuels means to supply with fuel or to stimulate growth: Coffee fuels my mornings, Resentment fuels the conflict.
What fuels something keeps it going, whether a car, a fire, or a grudge.
