Aerosol

/ˈɛroʊˌsɔːl/ noun

Definition

Tiny liquid or solid particles suspended in a gas, often in the air, like mist, smoke, or spray. It can also mean a pressurized can that releases a substance as a fine spray.

Etymology

From *aero-* “air” and *-sol*, shortened from *solution*, modeled after words like *colloid*. The term was developed in the early 20th century in chemistry and physics.

Kelly Says

Clouds, deodorant spray, and even some viruses all use the same trick: they ride through the air as aerosols. That invisible mist can travel surprisingly far, which is why scientists care so much about how aerosols move and spread.
