gust 狂風(fēng)

來自PIE*gheu, 涌出，詞源同foundry, geyser, gust. 用于指狂風(fēng)。

gust: gust: [16] The underlying meaning of gust is ‘sudden rush or gush’, and related words refer to water or steam rather than wind. It was borrowed from Old Norse gustr ‘gust’, and the closely connected geysa ‘gush’ produced English geyser [18].
=> geyser

Probably originally in English as a nautical word.
