means A person who flies aircraft, or the teardrop-shaped sunglasses originally designed for them.

from From Latin 'avis,' meaning bird — the same root gives us 'aviary' and 'aviation.' The word 'aviator' took flight in the 19th century as early flying machines were being imagined, well before anyone had actually left the ground. The sunglasses came later, developed in the early 20th century for military pilots who needed to cut glare at altitude — Ray-Ban's design became the iconic version, and eventually the glasses outflew the pilots in popularity, landing on everyone from rock stars to the aforementioned bank managers.
