An aircraft or airplane, from the Spanish and French word for plane; used in English especially in aviation contexts.
From Spanish avión, from Old French avion, derived from Latin avis (bird). The word literally means 'flying thing' and emerged as aviation technology developed.
Spanish and French split off from Latin and independently created 'avión/avion' for planes, showing how modern technology names often come from old bird-words because humans started by watching birds to understand flight.
