Until the 20th century, the term asphaltum was also used. The word is derived from the Ancient Greek Î±ÏÏÎ¬Î»ÏÎ¿Ï asphaltos; its source was an Eastern word. The primary use (70%) of asphalt/bitumen is in road construction, where it is used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete.n British English, the word 'asphalt' is used to refer to a mixture of mineral aggregate and asphalt/bitumen (also called tarmac in common parlance). The earlier word 'asphaltum' is now archaic and not commonly used. In American English, 'asphalt' is equivalent to the British 'bitumen'.
