Etymology
'aerohydrodynamic' originates from Greek, specifically the words 'aero' meaning 'air', 'hydro' meaning 'water', and 'dynamic' meaning 'force' or 'power'.
'aerohydrodynamic' was formed by combining the Greek roots 'aero-', 'hydro-', and 'dynamic' to describe the study of forces in both air and water.
Initially, it meant 'study of forces in air and water', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
