Etymology

The word 'gust' originated in the late 16th century and is derived from the Middle English word 'goust', meaning 'a blast of wind'. It has its roots in the Latin word 'gustus', which means 'a taste or enjoyment'. Over time, the term evolved to describe a sudden rush of wind, and it is commonly used in meteorology to refer to short bursts of high-speed wind.
