southeaster

/sˈaʊθistɚ/ noun B2

a storm with strong winds from the southeast

Word Origin Southeaster is a wind or storm coming from the southeast — literally, a 'south-easter.' It's a compound of Old English sūþ 'south' and ēast 'east,' with the agent suffix -er added. The same directional roots give us southern, eastern, southward, and eastward. The PIE root *h₂ews- for 'east' is also the source of Easter (the dawn festival) and aurora.
