Etymology

From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] German Taifun. Possibly of Chinese origin, Mandarin 大风 (dàfēng, big wind), Cantonese 大風大风 (daai6 fung1, big wind), also similarly found in Arabic طُوفَان (ṭūfān), the latter from Ancient Greek τυφῶν (tuphôn). Given the location of typhoons as a Pacific Ocean phenomena, it is more likely it began east and moved west.
