Etymology

The word 'buffeting' originates from the Middle English term 'buffet', which itself came from the Old French 'bufet', meaning a strike or blow, and is derived from the verb 'buffer' meaning to strike or hit. Tracing back further, the term has roots in the Latin word 'puffare', which means to blow or swell. Over time, 'buffet' evolved in English to encompass various meanings, ranging from a blow to the body to describe the tumultuous effects of wind or waves. The current usage of 'buffeting' as a gerund form signifies ongoing or repeated action, particularly in contexts related to nature and forceful impacts. Its widespread adoption in meteorological and aviation terminology reflects the dynamic forces that can influence stability and motion.
