The answer
PLANE
What plane means
A flat or level surface, or an aircraft designed to carry passengers or cargo through the air.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *plane* (flat, level), derived from Latin *planus* (flat, level, plain). The Latin word likely comes from an Indo-European root meaning to spread or flatten. In geometry and carpentry, the term refers to a flat surface; as a verb, it means to make smooth or level. The aircraft sense arose in the early 1900s, short for *aeroplane*, which combined Greek *aero-* (air) with the plane concept.
