prettygoodwordwuthering (WUH-thuhr-ing) - adj., (of wind) blowing with a dull roaring sound.
Also, of a place, having wind that wuthers -- for, yes, this present participle has a stem form that conjugates, though outside of the set phrase "wind and wuthering" and Wuthering Heights, this word is rare outside of Northern England. It's not used much in Scotland, as wuther is a north England dialect variant of Scots whither, to rush/bluster (plus of a cough, having a fit of them), a frequentive form (!!) of whid, to gust, from Old Norse hviða, gust of wind.
(I had not realized this was a frequentive, or I would have deferred it to next week, which will be another week of those.)
