Wind-ow
The window was cracked, the wind whistled, and the kid asked what the sound was. Then we both started wondering: are "window" and "wind" related? Do they share an etymology? I care enough to ponder it, but not enough to actually look it up.
We were driving along when the wind started "whistling" because the window was slightly open. The kid in the car with me asked what that sound was. I explained. And then we both started wondering about the word "window" and "wind". Are they related? Like, do they have a common etymology?
