Maybe you should Google the origin of gaslight rather than ask others to do your research. I'll help. The word entered the English lexicon in 1944.

Hey google, when did the word gaslighting start
1938
The term "gaslighting" was coined from the 1938 British play called Gas Light, in which a husband manipulates a wife into thinking she is crazy by slyly changing the intensity of the gas lights in their home when she is left alone. He does this in an attempt to make her believe she cannot trust herself or her memory.Feb 8, 2023
I forgot the play preceded the move. Regardless cattantaw is argumentative (to be kind).
shareSeveral Imdb posters where using it 16 years ago! https://moviechat.org/tt0036855/Gaslight/58c7031e4e1cf308b93447d4/the-term-gaslight
shareYou've already been informed that your hypothesis is false, yet you refuse to accept that fact! I don't think there's really much more to say...
