droneo

Esperanto

Etymology

Borrowed from English drone.

The silent "e" from the English spelling was retained to avoid its word root from being homonymous with that of droni (“to sink; drown”).

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /droˈneo/
  • Rhymes: -eo
  • Hyphenation: dro‧ne‧o

Noun

droneo (accusative singular droneon, plural droneoj, accusative plural droneojn)

  1. drone (unmanned aircraft)
