Etymology: In sense 1 < air n.¹ + bell n.¹; in sense 2 (and perhaps also in sense 3) probably independently < air n.¹ + bell n.³ With sense 1 compare German Luftglocke (1789).

1. A vessel for containing air; spec. (a) a diving bell; (b) an open-bottomed bell-shaped glass vessel used with its open end downwards to contain a gas or to protect samples; a bell jar.
