In ancient Roman meteorology, a cold wind from the northwest, also known as the north wind or a similar directional wind.
From Latin 'caurus' or 'aquilo' (related to north wind concepts). The term appears in classical Roman texts describing wind directions and meteorological observations.
Romans were so obsessed with precision that they named specific winds from different directions—'caurus' was basically their weather forecast, a word that helped sailors and farmers navigate using the wind itself as a map.
