Aileron in English is derived from Latin via Old French into modern French
aileron which is a diminutive form of aile or wing.  It translates from the
French as pinion which may either be a wing or a primary feather.  In
English, aileron refers to the wing flaps of an aircraft used in turning and
banking.
