The majority of wind orginates from one or both of two sources: clouds and trees. As the clouds move, they push the air, creating wind. The relation is linear: the faster the clouds, the faster the wind. Trees also contribute to wind, especially at ground level. Trees sway back and forth and their leaves catch the air and 'throw' wind currents. The more frenetically a tree sways, the greater the wind. A tree that sways so violently that it falls over can create gusts of wind up to 120mph!
There are many other sources lesser of wind, some natural (e.g. waves) and some man-made (e.g. windmills and sailboats).
