About

The word "飓风" is formed by combining the character "飓", which specifically denotes a violent wind or hurricane, with the character "风", meaning wind. "飓" itself is a phono-semantic compound consisting of the semantic radical "风" for meaning and the phonetic component "具" for sound, so in the compound "飓风", both characters collectively emphasize the concept of a severe windstorm.
