the.com/windstorm

means A windstorm is a storm marked by very strong winds but little or no rain, capable of toppling trees, scattering debris, and damaging buildings.

from A plain compound of two old English words: 'wind,' from Old English 'wind' (a cousin of Latin 'ventus' and the source of words like 'ventilate'), and 'storm,' from Old English 'storm,' tied to the same Germanic root that gives us 'stir' — the sense of something violently agitated. Put them together and you get exactly what it says: the air, stirred into a frenzy.
