Morphology

aeroacoustic = acoustic (transparent) = aero + acoustic

The word is a clear combination of 'aero' (air) and 'acoustic' (sound-related), directly relating to sound produced by air movement.

Etymology

The word aeroacoustic joins aero- 'air', as in aeroplane, and acoustic 'sound'. So, aeroacoustic means the study of sound made by moving air, for example the noise from trains, planes, or the air around a car.
