A wind is meteorology classified as the direction whence it originates. A west wind blows east. Many winds are names from a region that they originate such as desert winds, tropic winds and nor'easters. Other winds were nicknamed by sailors who used these winds to make a living. Trade winds were constant winds that made trading ships more efficient. Doldrums are the rising winds near the equator that move a ship slowly, thus the depressing name.
