Brit.

/ˌɛːrᵻfᵻˈkeɪʃn/, U.S.

/ˌɛrəfəˈkeɪʃən/

Forms: 1700s– aerification, 1800s aërification.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; partly modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: Latin āēr , -ification suffix.

Etymology: < classical Latin āēr air n.¹ + -ification suffix; in sense 1 after French aérification (1789 in the passage translated in quot. 1790). Compare post-classical Latin aerificatio (1713 or earlier). Compare later aerify v.

†1. Conversion into gas; evaporation. Obsolete. rare.
