Brit.

/ˈsʌɪkləʊn/, U.S.

/ˈsaɪˌkloʊn/

Etymology: < Greek κύκλος circle (or κυκλῶν moving in a circle, whirling round): see quot. 1848¹ at sense a. Piddington's account of his formation of the word is vague; the sense he assigns suggests that the Greek word he meant was κύκλωμα, which means inter alia ‘the coil of a serpent’; hence cyclome occurs as an early variant.

a. gen. A name introduced in 1848 by H. Piddington, as a general term for all storms or atmospheric disturbances in which the wind has a circular or whirling course.

1848 H. Piddington Sailor's Horn-bk. 8 Winds Class II. (Hurricane Storms..Whirlwinds..African Tornado..Water Spouts..Samiel, Simoom), I suggest..that we might, for all this last class of circular or highly curved winds, adopt the term ‘Cyclone’ from the Greek κυκλως (which signifies amongst other things the coil of a snake) as..expressing sufficiently the tendency to circular motion in these meteors.

1848 H. Piddington Sailor's Horn-bk. 8 Winds Class II. 176 Throughout the preceding parts the word Cyclone has been, as proposed..added after the words in common use to express circular-blowing winds. In this part I propose to use it alone.

b. spec. A hurricane or tornado of limited diameter and destructive violence.

c. Meteorology. A system of winds rotating around a centre of minimum barometric pressure, the centre and whole system having itself also a motion of translation, which is sometimes arrested, when the cyclone becomes for a time stationary. Cf. anticyclone n. (Such a system often extends over many thousands of square miles.)As to the differences between this and b, see A. Buchan in Encycl. Brit. XVI. 129.
