Contrary to popular belief, the word is not ele-copter, but in fact is "eleco" meaning "elephant" and "pter" meaning "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ELEPHANT DOING IN THE SKY"
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee elephant should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its big fat little body off the ground. The bee elephant, of course, flies anyway. Because bees elephants don't care what humans think is impossible.

I thought it was from them hearing the British say " 'at's wa's called a 'elecopter!" so they just made it match the word.

You're thinking of Fly Away Home, where a pilot dresses his aircraft to guide a flock of elephants when they migrate south for the winter.
