typhoon
English
Etymology
Its ultimate origin is generally thought to be Sinitic ????? ("big wind", Mandarin dàf?ng, Cantonese daai6 fung1).
It entered English as early as 1588, perhaps via Portuguese tufão (attested since at least 1560) from Arabic ???????? (??f?n) (compare Persian ?????? (tufân), Hindi ?????? (t?f?n)).
Within English, its form was influenced by Ancient Greek ????? (Tuphôn, “Typhon, father of the winds”). (Some sources suggest the term originated in Greek and travelled via Arabic to Chinese before making its way back to Europe, but this is implausible.)
