Root Explanation

Aerodynamically → It is formed from "aero-" (from Greek "aēr", meaning air) and "dynamis" (meaning power or force), combined with the suffix "-ically" (meaning in a manner relating to). The word describes something that relates to the forces acting on objects in motion through the air.

Memory Tip

Think of 'air' ('aero-') and 'force' ('dynamis') to remember that 'aerodynamically' refers to how things move through the air with power.
