sirocco

sirocco: [17] The sirocco is a hot wind that blows into southern Europe from North Africa. Etymologically its name means ‘east’ wind. The term comes via French sirocco and Italian scirocco from Arabic sharūq ‘east’, hence ‘east wind’, a derivative of the verbal past form sharaqa ‘rose’ (the allusion being to the direction of the rising sun).
