Field Terms FAQ

What is the word for the smell of rain?

Petrichor is the smell of rain falling on dry earth. Two Australian scientists, Isabel Bear and Richard Thomas, coined it in the journal Nature in 1964, from the Greek petra, stone, and ichor, the fluid said to run in the veins of the gods.

What is the word for the sound of wind in the trees?

Psithurism is the rustling, whispering sound of wind moving through trees. It comes from the Greek psithurisma, a whisper, and Dictionary.com dates it to the 1870s. Susurrus is a close cousin, a soft murmuring sound.

Are these real words?

Most are, and each product page says where its word comes from. Petrichor, psithurism and solivagant are in major dictionaries. Hiraeth is Welsh and shinrin yoku Japanese. A few, such as nephophile, are modern coinages built from Greek parts and found on word lists rather than in dictionaries, and we say so.

What does fernweh mean?

Fernweh is German for a longing for distant places, the ache to travel rather than the ache to be home. Duden, the German dictionary, marks it as elevated usage, from fern, far, and Weh, ache.
