What is the meaning of "ero" in Japanese?

This word appeared late in Japan. It seemed エロスcould only be read in academic writings. People have invented a hybrid adjective Eroi (エロい), denoting erotic. Ir became popular among civil.

Ero is short form of Eros (エロス).

Thus エロ can be noun and adjective.
