About
The word 飓风 (jùfēng), meaning "hurricane", is formed by combining two characters: 飓, which itself is a specialized character containing the "wind" radical (风) on its right side, suggesting its association with powerful wind, and 风 (fēng), which simply means "wind". The left component of 飓, 具 (jù), primarily provides its distinctive sound but also carries a connotation of "tool" or "implement", which, when fused with "wind", conceptually creates the idea of a wind so formidable and structured it acts like a vast, destructive instrument or force of nature. Thus, the term visually and conceptually builds from the base of "wind" into an intensified, specific phenomenon.
