| storm | 1. A violent disturbance of the atmosphere, attended by wind, rain, snow, hail, or thunder and lightning; hence, often, a heavy fall of rain, snow, or hail, whether accompanied with wind or not.

Storm is violent agitation, a commotion of the elements by wind, etc, but not necessarily implying the fall of anything from the clouds.

A tempest is a sudden and violent storm, such as those common on the coast of Italy, where the term originated, and is usually attended by a heavy rain, with lightning and thunder. "Storms beat, and rolls the main; O! beat those storms, and roll the seas, in vain." (Pope) "What at first was called a gust, the same Hath now a storm's, anon a tempest's name." (Donne) Origin: AS. Storm; akin to D. Storm, G. Sturm, Icel. Stormr; and perhaps to Gr. Assault, onset, Skr. S to flow, to hasten, or perhaps to L. Sternere to strew, prostrate (cf. Stratum). 166.

| stout | 1. Strong; lusty; vigorous; robust; sinewy; muscular; hence, firm; resolute; dauntless. "With hearts stern and stout." (Chaucer) "A stouter champion never handled sword."

Stout, in our early writers (as in the English Bible), was used chiefly or wholly in the sense of strong or bold; as, a stout champion; a stout heart; a stout resistance, etc. at a later period it was used for thickset or bulky, and more recently, especially in England, the idea has been carried still further, so that Taylor says in his Synonyms: "The stout man has the proportions of an ox; he is corpulent, fat, and fleshy in relation to his size." In America, stout is still commonly used in the original sense of strong as, a stout boy; a stout pole. Origin: D. Stout bold (or OF. Estout bold, proud, of Teutonic origin); akin to AS. Stolt, G. Stolz, and perh. To E. Stilt. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
