Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: brickfield n., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < brickfield n. + -er suffix¹.The cold south wind (see sense 1) was originally so called after the brickfields formerly located to the south of Sydney, from which it picked up brick dust (see the discussion at the definition; the Brickfields area was named after these brickfields); sense 2 is probably a transferred use of this, on account of the reddish dust brought from the desert by the hot north wind in South Australia and Victoria.

Australian.

1. In Sydney: a sudden strong, cold south wind, typically (esp. in the 19th cent.) carrying a thick cloud of dust into the city from an area to the south (formerly) called the Brickfields. Now rare (chiefly historical).Such a wind is now more commonly called a southerly buster in Sydney, as elsewhere along the south-east coast of Australia; cf. southerly buster n. at southerly adj. and n. Compounds.
