Weatherman

/ˈwɛðɚmæn/ noun

Definition

A person, usually on television or radio, who forecasts the weather and reports on current weather conditions.

Etymology

A compound word combining 'weather' (from Old English 'weder' meaning 'wind' or 'storm') and 'man' (from Old English 'mann'). The term became common in the early 1900s as radio and television broadcasting developed. The modern, gender-neutral version 'weather forecaster' or 'meteorologist' is now preferred.

Kelly Says

Weathermen are fascinating because they're always half-wrong, yet we keep listening—and there's actually a scientific reason for this! Weather is chaotic, so predictions beyond 10 days become essentially impossible due to the 'butterfly effect,' yet meteorologists have become surprisingly accurate at 5-day forecasts through satellite technology and computer modeling.
