Fossil once meant any object dug up. Fossil fuel dates from then and meant a fuel obtained from the ground. It never meant made of fossils. Fossil evolved its present meaning in 18th/19th C. It is also true that all fossil fuels are made of carbon from dead organisms. https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Philosophical_Grammar_Being_a_View_o/XWQTQ4KDGrAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22though+fossils+be+a+general+name+for+every+thing+which+is+dug+out+of+the+earth%22&pg=PA210&printsec=frontcover https://www.dinosaurisle.com/edu_fossil_guide.html#:~:text=In%20its%20original%20sense%2C%20fossil,fodere%20foss%2C%20meaning%20dig) https://www.oed.com/oed2/00089011#:~:text=1.%20a.%20Obtained%20by%20digging;%20found%20buried%20in%20the%20earth
