Canaerial is a portmanteau word, in this case a blend of the words “canary” and “aerial”. There’s a different kind of canaerial, which is a blend of the words “can” and “aerial”, but this site is about the first kind.

How do I pronounce Canaerial? Just start saying “canary” and when you get to the “airy” part, finish by saying “aerial” – Canaerial. There’s no pause after the “can”, that would refer to the second type of canaerial – the one with a lowercase “c”. That would be wrong.
