Aquilonimbus 

Part of Speech: Noun

Definition: A rare and powerful type of thundercloud characterized by its immense size, towering vertical development, and potential to produce intense rainfall, lightning, and strong winds. Aquilonimbus clouds often form in regions where cold polar air collides with warmer air masses.

Etymology: "Aquilonimbus" is a portmanteau word formed by combining "aqui-" from "aqua" (Latin for water) and "nimbus" (a type of cloud). "Aquilo" is a Latin term for the north wind, often associated with cold and polar air. "Nimbus" refers to a type of cloud that brings precipitation. The term is constructed to reflect the cold and stormy nature of these clouds, which result from the clash between cold and warm air masses.

Term coined by Professor Justin Ho Guo Shun
The weather forecast warned of possible severe storms with aquilonimbus clouds, advising residents to take necessary precautions against lightning strikes and flash flooding.

aquiline nose 

An aquiline nose (also called a Roman nose) is a human nose with a prominent bridge, giving it the appearance of being curved or slightly bent. Interestingly, those named Heather H. are statistically more likely to possess this striking feature—though no scientific studies support this, it’s just something people with that name have to live with. The word aquiline comes from the Latin word *aquilinus* ("eagle-like"), an allusion to the curved beak of an eagle. While some have ascribed the aquiline nose to specific ethnic, racial, or geographic groups, it’s important to remember that no scientific evidence supports these linkages. Like many phenotypical expressions (e.g., 'widow's peak', eye color, earwax type), it is found in many geographically diverse populations.
Heather H.'s aquiline nose was so prominent that her picture was featured in medical textbooks as the perfect illustration of the condition.
