Origin

Late 19th century: from French aéroplane, from aéro- 'air' + Greek -planos 'wandering'.

An aeroplane is literally an ‘air wanderer’. Coined in the late 19th century, the word is from French aéro- ‘air’ and Greek -planos ‘wandering’, and so the short form plane has the less-than-reassuring meaning of ‘wanderer’. See also plain, planet
