northwest wind, Corus
A specific wind from the northwest direction, known in Latin as Corus. In Acts 27:12, this wind is referenced in the description of a harbor that opens toward the southwest and northwest. The consistency across translations (English 'northwest', Spanish 'noroeste', French 'nord-ouest') reflects precise nautical terminology important to Luke's detailed account of Paul's perilous sea journey to Rome.
