Etymology

The word 'gustier' is derived from 'gust', which comes from the Middle English 'guste', meaning a sudden strong breeze or a burst of wind. This word has its roots in the Latin 'gustus', meaning taste or flavor, metaphorically referring to the quick, fleeting sense of wind. Over time, 'gust' evolved in usage to specifically relate to wind phenomena. The comparative form 'gustier' directly relates to its base form 'gust', illustrating a relative intensification of wind conditions. The term is commonly used in meteorology and everyday language to describe particularly breezy conditions, especially in relation to activities like sailing, kite surfing, or even general outdoor plans.
