Etymology: "Aerifications" is the plural of "aerification", a noun for the process of introducing air into something. The base is "aerify", a verb formed from the Greek-derived element "aero-", meaning air, combined with the Latin-derived "-fy", meaning to make or cause to become. Put together, the word describes making a substance airier. In practice the term is most often applied to soil, where small holes are punched into turf or lawns so that air, water, and nutrients can reach the roots.
