Etymology
'aerial-maritime' combines 'aerial,' originating from Latin 'aerius,' meaning 'of the air,' and 'maritime,' from Latin 'maritimus,' meaning 'of the sea.'
'Aerial' evolved from the Latin 'aerius' through Old French 'aerien,' while 'maritime' came from Latin 'maritimus' through Old French 'maritime.'
Initially, 'aerial' meant 'pertaining to the air,' and 'maritime' meant 'pertaining to the sea.' The combined term 'aerial-maritime' retains these meanings, referring to activities involving both air and sea.
