trade winds. These are winds that regularly “blow trade” in one direction or another. In the northern hemisphere they blow from the northeast, and in the southern hemisphere from the southeast. In some places they blow six months of the year in one direction and six months in the opposite direction. Trade winds is first recorded in 1626, but the term to blow trade is first mentioned in Richard Hakluyt’s Diverse Voyages (1582). See winds. |
