Which Way the Wind Blows

Etymology:

• Wind has been used to symbolize how the matters will unfold for over 700 years. It is the characteristic of wind that it blows things in its direction like flags or sails on a boat.

The idiom “the way the wind is blowing” is used to refer to the way certain events are happening. The idiom can be explained by an example, let us imagine that you are campaigning for a public office. As a candidate you must make your position according to the wishes of people (direction of wind) to be successful in the elections.
