Kamikaze is a Japanese term meaning "divine wind"; kamimeans god or divine and kazi, obviously, means wind. It comes from an incident in Japan's history: in the 13th century, typhoons made it impossible for the Mongols to invade Japan. The term was used for the suicide missions undertaken by Japanese pilots in World War II because the hope was that they would have the same effect as the prior "holy winds" had.
