The word 'аеропорт' is a compound term where 'аеро-' derives from the Ancient Greek word 'ἀήρ' (aēr), meaning 'air', and '-порт' from the Latin 'portus', meaning 'port' or 'harbor'. Hence, an 'аеропорт' is essentially an 'air harbor'. Many languages share this composite structure for their word for 'airport', reflecting the place where aircrafts, analogous to ships, come to dock or rest.

The term 'церква' has Slavic roots, stemming from the Old Church Slavonic word 'црькꙑ' (crĭky), which means 'church'. This word itself is believed to have origins in the Greek 'κυριακόν' (kyriakón), denoting 'Lord's house', from 'κύριος' (kýrios) which means 'lord'. This etymology underscores the church's role as a house dedicated to the Lord or God in Christian traditions.
