A philosophical or artistic doctrine emphasizing the importance of wind or breath in nature, art, or music; also, the theory that wind action shapes geology.
From 'aeolian' + '-ism' (doctrine, system). The term emerged in 19th-century geological theory and Romantic philosophy to describe wind-centric worldviews.
Aeolicism appears in both geology (explaining landscapes through wind) and Romanticism (celebrating wind as a natural force), showing how a single word can unite science and art.
