Etymology 2

A borrowing from likely, as it is transmitted for some of the wind terms, the dialect of the Banū Huḏayl, belonging originally to the vocabulary of those who voyage upon the sea between Jidda and ʿAdan; possibly related to the idea of stooping, throwing head over heels in the verbs كَاسَ (kāsa), كَوَّسَ (kawwasa), likely from كَأْس (kaʔs, “stoop, beaker”), as a heavy wind topples a vessel.

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /kaws/

Noun

كَوْس • (kaws) m (Yemen, Oman, Al-Fujaira, uncountable)

the headwind of a vessel on the sea
particularly, the south-west wind, رِيح الكَوْس (rīḥ al-kaws), or مَوْسِم الكَوْس (mawsim al-kaws) meaning the south-west monsoon wind; the west wind being called رِيح الدَبُور (rīḥ al-dabūr), the south wind رِيح الْجَنُوب (rīḥ al-janūb), the north-east wind رِيح الأَزْيَب (rīḥ al-ʔazyab), or رِيح الصَبَا (rīḥ al-ṣabā)
- 2011 July 6, “الأمواج العاتية تضرب سواحل كلباء والفجيرة”, in Al-Bayān‎^[1]:
  نجا المواطن (ح، ع) من منطقة رول دبا من الموت وذلك أثناء ممارسته هواية السباحة في تمام الساعة الرابعة قبالة شاطئ منطقة العقة برفقة أصدقائه، ونتيجة ارتفاع الموج مع بداية موسم الكوس الذي شهد بالأمس ارتفاعا كبيرا في مستويات موج البحر والتيارات البحرية، ما أدى إلى أن يجرفه ويذهب به إلى مكان أعمق، حيث تعرض إلى إصابات متفاوتة في أجزاء جسده جراء ذلك بعد أن قام رفاقه بإنقاذه وإسعافه، ليتم نقله على الفور إلى مستشفى دبا الفجيرة.
