gust: gust: [16] The underlying meaning of gust is ‘sudden rush or gush’, and related words refer to water or steam rather than wind. It was borrowed from Old Norse gustr ‘gust’, and the closely connected geysa ‘gush’ produced English geyser [18].

gust (n.): 1580s, "sudden squall of wind," possibly a dialectal survival from Old Norse gustr "a cold blast of wind" (related to gusa "to gush, spurt") or Old High German gussa "flood," both from Proto-Germanic *gustiz, from PIE *gheus-, from root *gheu- "to pour" (see found (v.2)). Probably originally in English as a nautical word.
gust (v.): 1813, from gust (n.). Related: Gusted; gusting.

加斯特（Gust）是希腊神话中的食神，经常下凡到人间来品味各种美味佳肴，因此英语单词gust含有“风味、个人癖好”的意思。加斯特性情暴躁，如果尝不到美食就会大发脾气，因此，gust又含有“突然的一阵（风）”的意思。

gust：[gʌst] n.风味、趣味、个人癖好，突然的一阵（风）vi.一阵一阵地吹

gusty：['ɡʌsti] adj.阵风的；突发的；阵阵猛急的
