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).

Definition: Characteristic of or resembling the literary works of Don Quixote; extravagantly idealistic, visionary, or impractical.

Etymology: The term "Quixotian" is derived from "Don Quixote," the titular character of the novel "Don Quixote" written by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes. Don Quixote is known for his chivalrous and often impractical adventures, driven by his lofty ideals and an almost delusional sense of reality.
