nitro-aerialadj.

Brit.

/ˌnʌɪtrəʊˈɛːrɪəl/, U.S.

/ˌnaɪtroʊˈɛriəl/

Forms: 1600s– nitro-aerial, 1600s 1900s– nitro-aereal.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: nitro- comb. form, aerial adj.

Etymology: < nitro- comb. form + aerial adj., after post-classical Latin nitro-aereus (see nitro-aereous adj.). Compare nitro-aereous adj.

Chemistry. Now historical.

Designating or relating to a substance or chemical principle supposedly present in both air and nitre and, according to the theories of John Mayow (1641–79), responsible for processes such as combustion, fermentation, and respiration. Cf. nitre n. 3.
