Aeroscepsis

/ˌɛroʊˈskɛpsɪs/ noun

Definition

Skepticism, doubt, or critical examination of atmospheric or air-related claims or phenomena; viewing with suspicion.

Etymology

From 'aero-' + 'skeptis' (skeptical). This is an extremely rare philosophical/scientific term combining Greek roots for skeptical inquiry about air.

Kelly Says

Aeroscepsis is such a wonderfully obscure word that it perfectly captures the scientific attitude—healthy doubt and questioning of atmospheric claims until proven with evidence and measurement!
