aerostaticsn.

Brit.

/ˌɛːrə(ʊ)ˈstatɪks/, U.S.

/ˌɛroʊˈstædɪks/,

/ˌɛrəˈstædɪks/

Forms: 1700s– aerostatics, 1800s aërostatics.

Origin: Formed within English, by conversion. Etymon: aerostatic adj.

Etymology: < aerostatic adj.: see -ic suffix 2. Compare French aérostatique (1784 in this sense). Compare aerostation n. and earlier aerostatica n. Compare also earlier hydrostatics n.

With singular agreement. The branch of physics that deals with the equilibrium properties of air and (now historical) with the behaviour of objects suspended in it; (also) the application of this to the raising and guiding of balloons (cf. aerostatic adj. 2, 1 and aerostation n. 1).
