Definition
The sound of the wind whispering through the trees and rustling the leaves.
Etymology
From Greek 'psithuros' (whispering, slanderous). The Greeks associated whispering with both nature and gossip — the trees might be talking about you!
Kelly Says
The wind in the trees has its OWN word! And it comes from Greek for 'whispering' — because the ancient Greeks thought maybe the trees were gossiping about them. Honestly? Maybe they ARE! 🌲💨
