The word "storms" is derived from the Old English word "storm", which has its roots in the Proto-Germanic language. In Proto-Germanic, the word was "sturmaz", and it is believed to have been borrowed from the Proto-Indo-European root word *stwer- meaning "to stir up" or "to whirl". This root word also gave rise to similar terms in other Germanic languages such as German "Sturm" and Dutch "storm". Over time, the spelling and pronunciation of "storm" has evolved, leading to the current form "storms".
