Morphology
aerobic = aerobe (semi-transparent) = aero + ic
Same formation as the biological sense: combining form 'aero-' + adjectival suffix '-ic'; the exercise sense is an extension of the technical meaning but relies on specialised vocabulary.
Etymology
Aerobic comes from the Greek parts aer- 'air' and -bios 'life', like in biology. So aerobic exercise means activity done 'with air' or oxygen, which uses your breathing and helps your heart and lungs.
