whirlwindn.

Brit.

/ˈwəːlwɪnd/, U.S.

/ˈ(h)wərlˌwɪnd/

Etymology: < whirl- comb. form + wind n.¹, probably after Old Norse hvirfilvindr (obsolete Danish hverrelwind, Danish hvirvelwind, Swedish virvelvind), whence Dutch wervelwind, German wirbelwind.

1. A whirling or rotating wind; an atmospheric eddy or vortex; a body of air moving rapidly in a circular or upward spiral course around a vertical or slightly inclined axis which has also a progressive motion over the surface of land or water.In its larger forms it constitutes a violent and destructive storm, as a cyclone or tornado; over a body of water it sometimes causes a waterspout, over a sandy or dusty region a sand-pillar or dust-whirl.
