  One of the weirdest facts I know is that “pter” means wing and “helico” means spiral, so a wing that moves in a helix is a helico-pter. That’s the root, not heli-copter.

    “Helico” sounds like it could be a delightfully antiquated-sounding clipping of helicopter. Perhaps some Victorian gentleman is ushering you into the helico.

    It would at least be interesting if one was writing a similar world, but wanted more unique language.

    “Get in the ‘pter” is a bit more clumsy though.
