EYRIE

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 102 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
EYRIE , the alternative
English
  form of the words Aerie or Aery, the lofty
nest
  of a
bird
  of
prey
 , especially of an eagle, hence any lofty
place
  of abode; the
term
  is also used of the brood of the
bird
 . The word derives from the Fr. afire, of the same meaning, which comes from the Lat. area, an open space, but was early connected with aerius, high in the air, airy, a confusion that has affected the spelling of the word. The forms " eyrie " or " eyry " date from a 17th
century
 
attempt
  to derive the word from the Teutonic ey, an egg.
