GUSTY
What gusty means
Characterized by sudden, strong bursts of wind that blow unpredictably and change in intensity.
Where the word comes from
From the noun "gust," which came into English around the 1600s from Italian "gusta" or possibly from Old Norse "gustr," both meaning a sudden violent wind. The adjective "gusty" was formed by adding the common English suffix "-y" (meaning "characterized by" or "full of") to this base, creating the sense of weather marked by sudden, strong wind bursts.
