- 1555, "violent storm, hurricane," from Gk. typhon "whirlwind," personified as a giant, father of the winds, perhaps from typhein "to smoke." Or borrowed from Chinese (Cantonese) tai fung "a great wind," from tu "big" + feng "wind;" name given to violent cyclonic storms in the China seas. A third possibility is tufan, a word in Arabic, Persian and Hindi meaning "big cyclonic storm," which may be from the Gk., or from Ar. tafa "to turn round." ...Английский Этимологический словарь
