Take the word apart and it teaches you the word-building system: -o, the -ad of ongoing activity on the bird root, then - for the instrument, so an aeroplane is "the flying-activity tool". You will also meet the shorter avio in modern usage, but remains the standard dictionary form. The pilot is aviadisto or simply , the airport , and to travel by air is or per . A helicopter gets its own root, helikoptero.
