aeródromo
airfield
noun ah-eh-ROH-droh-moh Rare
Origin: From Greek aēr ('air') + dromos ('running track').
Also means
aerodrome
Usage Note
Aeródromo is a small or secondary airfield — less equipped than an aeropuerto (international airport). Spanish aviation authorities use both terms precisely: an aeródromo may lack commercial scheduled services. Note the stress on the third syllable (esdrújula): ae-RÓ-dro-mo.
Examples
"El aeródromo local solo opera vuelos privados."
Natural Translation
The local airfield only operates private flights.
