Etymologia (Angielski)

Pokrewny z Mandarin Chinese: 大风

Pokrewny z kantoński: 大風

Pokrewny z arabski: طُوفَان

Pokrewny z hindi: तूफ़ान

Pokrewny z perski: توفان

Pokrewny z starogrecki: Τυφῶν

In summary

Probably ultimately of Sinitic origin, Mandarin 大风 (dàfēng, “big wind”), Cantonese 大風 /大风 (daai⁶ fung¹, “big wind”), via Arabic طُوفَان (ṭūfān), Hindi तूफ़ान (tūfān), and Persian توفان (tufân).
Ancient Greek Τυφῶν (Tuphôn, “Typhon, father of the winds”) is unrelated but has secondarily contaminated the word:
given the location of typhoons as a Pacific Ocean phenomenon, it is more likely it began east and moved west.
