⌂Word origin and word building

From Japanese, where kamikaze means 'divine wind', the name of a typhoon that was believed to have saved Japan from a Mongol invasion in 1281.

यह शब्द Japanese से आया है, जहाँ kamikaze का अर्थ 'दैवी हवा' है, यह उस तूफ़ान का नाम था जिसके बारे में माना जाता है कि उसने 1281 में जापान को मंगोल आक्रमण से बचाया था।
