You may very well know of Wuthering Heights, the novel by Emily Bronte.

But do you know the meaning of wuthering?

wuthering is a wonderful word to share and to use with your kids in everyday conversation.  Why?  Because to wuther is a verb meaning to blow with a dull roaring sound.

wuther is derived from wither, meaning a rush, blast or gush of wind; a rushing sound.

The wind is a wonderful topic.  Try working wuthering into your winds… perhaps something like:  The wind is wuthering wearily today.
