There are a number of continental words of similar spelling and pronunciation. Old English was 'weder', Old Dutch was 'weder' and German 'wedar'. Old Norse was 'vethr'. The words general translated as 'storm and winds. The Latin word was 'tempestas'. Through all this, the word weather, and its meaning, evolved with the passage of time.
