A zephyr is a soft, gentle wind. The word is often used in poetry or descriptive writing.
“Zephyr” comes from Latin “Zephyrus,” the name of the Greek god of the west wind. Over time, it moved from meaning a specific west wind to any mild, pleasant breeze.
Zephyr is one of those words that almost feels like what it describes—light, soft, and airy. Using it instead of just “breeze” adds a touch of myth and music to your sentence.
