    The etymology of helicopter is actually a compound word divided in an unexpected place:

    • “Helico” means rotating or spiral.
    • “Pter” means wing, as in the word “pterodactyl.”

    So if we’re gonna bring that into another compound word, we should probably chop it in the right place: pterlord.

      Aerolord.

      I just realized we will probably have aerolords in a couple decades. I should invest in clean air and stockpile it. Maybe it’s my chance to be a lord.
