Naphtha
Weird, I haven’t seen that word in ages. “Nafta” is a term for mineral oil products (often diesel) in many languages, including the one my parents were born in.

Petroleum industry kinda ran out of words for different distillate fractions and intermediates
The word naphtha comes from Latin through Ancient Greek (νάφθα), derived from Middle Persian naft (“wet”, “naphtha”), the latter meaning of which was an assimilation from the Akkadian 𒉌𒆳𒊏 napṭu (see Semitic relatives such as Arabic نَفْط nafṭ [“petroleum”], Syriac ܢܰܦܬܳܐ naftā, and Hebrew נֵפְט neft, meaning petroleum)
