What does 'aethi-' mean in Latin?
The root 'aeth-' is from the ancient, classical Greek language. It appears in such ancient, classical Latin words as 'aether', 'aetherius', and 'aethra'. All of the words deal with the upper air, which is the meaning in the original Greek too.

"Rosa puellae data est."
"The books were given to the girl" is
"Libri puellae dati sunt."
Participles, gerundives, and all that fun stuff also take on gender.
