(Today's A-Word-A-Day some parts snipped)

avigation (av-i-GAY-shuhn) noun

Aerial navigation.

[Blend of avi- (bird) + navigation.]

"If the airport wins its point in a current lawsuit - in which the
airport's lawyers argue that it has acquired avigation easements over
neighboring homes, through historical use - what incentive would the
airport commission have to follow through with such an expensive
program?"
T.W. McGarry; Outlook is Bleak for Quieter Airport; The Los Angeles
Times;
Aug 28, 1988.

"The city would pay other affected residents for the right to fly more
planes over their property - or avigation easement rights."
Elizabeth Campbell and Laura Vozzella; Many Residents See Mesa As
Unwelcome Neighbor; Fort Worth Star-Telegram; May 5, 1997.

This week's theme: portmanteau or blend words.

I'm going to avigate over to the new Air and Space center to see the
exhibit on the Enola Homosexual.

Today's word is one I haven't heard of before - avigation.

That word's been around for many years. I think I first herd it
shortly after WW II.

It serves no useful purpose not served by "navigation" and thus has
been duly ignored.

So, aviation should be naviation, then?
