Etymology

Likely a calque of Middle English unweder, Old English unweder (“bad weather; storm”) or Germanic cognates such as Saterland Frisian Uunweeder, Dutch onweer, German Low German Unweer, German Unwetter, and Danish uvejr, Swedish oväder, Icelandic óveður. In any case, equivalent to un- (negative) + weather.
