Aerodromes

/ˈɛəroʊˌdroʊmz/ noun

Definition

Plural of aerodrome; multiple airports or landing fields for aircraft.

Etymology

The plural form of aerodrome, formed by adding the standard English plural suffix '-s' to the singular noun.

Kelly Says

The plural form reminds us that aerodromes were once so new and special that they were often counted and cataloged as distinct facilities—during WWII, military planners obsessively mapped every aerodrome on the European continent for bombing campaigns.
