The correct spelling of the word "aerosite" is with an "i" in the middle, not an "e". The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ˈɛərəsaɪt/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The "aero-" prefix comes from the Greek word "aēr" meaning air, and the suffix "-site" means a mineral or rock that has a specific chemical composition. Therefore, "aerosite" refers to a mineral that is found in the air or an area in which air plays a major role.
