Pronunciation

/ˌtīˈfo͞on/ /ˌtaɪˈfuːn/

Etymology

[ tI-fün ] (noun.) 1771. Probably ultimately of Chinese origin, Mandarin 大风 (dàfēng, “big wind”), Cantonese 大風 (daai6 fung1, “big wind”), via Arabic طوفان (ṭūfān), Hindi तूफ़ान (tūfān), and Persian طوفان (tufân). Given the location of typhoons as a Pacific Ocean phenomena, it is more likely it began east and moved west. Ancient Greek Τυφῶν (Tuphōn, “Typhon, father of the winds”) is unrelated but has secondarily contaminated the word.
