airshow

/ˈɛɹʃoʊ/ noun

Alternative spelling of air show.

Word Origin Airshow combines 'air' (from Greek 'aer,' mist, lower atmosphere) and 'show' (from Proto-Germanic 'skawwjaną,' to look at). So an airshow is a display in the air for people to watch. The Greek root 'aer' gives us 'aerobic,' 'aerodynamics,' and 'aerospace.' The 'show' part connects to 'showy,' 'showroom,' and 'sideshow.' It's a modern compound that perfectly describes aerial spectacle.
