'aerodrome' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'aerodromos,' where 'aero-' meant 'air' and '-dromos' meant 'running' or 'course.'

'aerodromos' transformed into the French word 'aérodrome,' and eventually became the modern English word 'aerodrome.'

Initially, it meant 'a place for air running or courses,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a small airport or airfield.'
