覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
aire は通常 Aire と大文字にして、イングランド北部を流れるエア川の固有名として使います。一般名詞 air「空気」や heir「相続人」と音・綴りが近くても別語です。Airedale は Aire＋dale「谷」で「エア川の谷」を表し、犬種名 Airedale terrier の由来にもなりました。
Remember Aire as the name of a river, normally capitalized, rather than as an old spelling of the common noun air. A useful geographical link is Airedale: dale means “valley,” so Airedale is the valley associated with the River Aire. The same place name survives in Airedale terrier, the dog breed developed in that area. In English, Aire may resemble air and heir in spelling or sound, but those words have unrelated meanings. When a map, regional history, or place name supplies the context, interpret Aire as the northern English river called the River Aire.

aire の語源・成り立ち Etymology
イングランド北部を流れるエア川の名。ケルト祖語で「流れる水」を意味する語根に由来するとされる。この川の流域名Airedaleはエアデール・テリア犬種の名の由来でもある。
Aire is the traditional name of a river in northern England. The precise origin of the river name is ancient and not fully certain, but it has commonly been connected with Celtic or pre-English terms associated with flowing water. The name was established long before modern English place-name spelling became regular. It also forms Airedale, literally the dale or valley of the Aire; that regional name later supplied the name of the Airedale terrier.
