'aerography' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'aerographia', where 'aero-' meant 'air' and '-graphia' meant 'writing or description'.

'aerographia' transformed into the English word 'aerography', and eventually became the modern English word 'aerographies' as its plural form.

Initially, it meant 'writing about air', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'study or description of the atmosphere'.
