Morphology

aeromechanic = mechanic (transparent) = aero + mechanic

The construction combines 'aero-' (relating to air) with 'mechanic' (relating to mechanics), yielding a direct meaning 'relating to the mechanics of air'.

Etymology

Aeromechanic joins aero- meaning 'air', as in aeroplane, and mechanic meaning 'machine' or 'engineer'. So aeromechanic describes the mechanical parts and forces that act when things move through the air.
