Zephyr(ZEFF-er)

Quick Detail: A light, gentle breeze.

Definition: A zephyr moves softly through the air, barely strong enough to stir leaves or hair. It cools without chilling, carrying faint scents and distant sounds. The word suggests a kind of kindness in the wind, a touch that refreshes rather than disrupts. Zephyrs often arrive at the edges of the day, when heat eases and the sky begins to shift. Their presence is noticed more by feel than by force.
