Aerodynamic

/ˌɛəroʊdaɪˈnæmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Shaped or designed to move easily through air, reducing resistance or drag. It often describes vehicles, wings, and objects that need to move fast or efficiently.

Etymology

From *aero-* “air” (Greek *aēr*) and *dynamic* from Greek *dynamis* “power, force.” The term grew out of 19th- and 20th-century physics and engineering.

Kelly Says

When something is ‘aerodynamic,’ it’s basically negotiating with the air to get out of its way politely. That’s why fast cars, birds, and airplanes all end up with similar smooth, tapered shapes—physics is forcing them to agree.
