In Lithuanian, we escaped the madness by making up our own name for it:
Sraigtasparnis = sraigtas (cog) + sparnas (wing)
Not to be confused with the word for autogyro:
Malūnsparnis = malūnas (mill) + sparnas (wing)
Which is not interesting unless you are writing some alternate history with aircraft in it and want to call them something with no Greek or Latin.
