Etymology
Attested late: in Shuowen Jiezi and Chuci.[1]
Unger (1984) notes 颸／飔 (sī) resemblance to Tibetan རྫི (rdzi, “wind”), which Schuessler (2007) derives instead from earlier *riy and further from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *g-ləy (“wind”) (> Proto-Tani *rji (“wind”) & Burmese လေ (le, “wind, air”)); Schuessler sees a more promising link to White Hmong cua (ibid.) (< Proto-Hmong-Mien *N-cæwH > Iu Mien nziaaux) (all meaning "wind").
