Yesterday’s word
The word eolian (also spelled aeolian) means “borne, deposited, produced, or eroded by the wind”
First usage
Our word came into English in the late 1500s
Background / Comments
Our word came from Greek mythology: Aeolus was the Greek god of the winds, and the king of the floating island of Aeolia. That became the adjective aeolian; our word is a simplified version by dropping the initial ‘a’. Usually the word is used for things sculpted by the winds, such as dunes or snow drifts or even caves.
