'aerogenous' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'aero,' where 'aer' meant 'air' and 'genous' meant 'produced by or originating from.'

'aerogenous' changed from the Greek word 'aerogenēs' and eventually became the modern English word 'aerogenous.'

Initially, it meant 'produced by air,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
