'aerodynamicist' originates from the Greek word 'aero,' meaning 'air,' and 'dynamics,' from the Greek 'dynamis,' meaning 'force' or 'power.'

'aerodynamics' evolved from the Greek 'aer' and 'dynamis,' and the suffix '-ist' was added to denote a specialist in the field.

Initially, it referred to the study of air movement, but now it specifically denotes a specialist in this field.
