How would you say it in Italian I knew about 'wuthering' was its being part of 'Wuthering Heights' title, "Cime tempestose" in italian. I can't find 'wuther' in my Collins and I got close googling but I'm still not satisfied.

I googled as well and I found: Definition: 1. blowing strongly: describes a wind that blows strongly and makes a loud roaring sound 2. having blustery winds: subject to persistent blustery or noisy winds [Late 18th century. < obsolete wuther "to rush"] In my opinion the translation is correct :" Cime tempestose"

yes, in Italian we say "cime tempestose". some synonims of "tempestoso" that could be fit for this context: turbolento burrascoso ciao

Hello! I googled as well - this is basically an obsolete word, and nowadays we only recognise it from the novel. The old 18th-century verb "to wuther" meant "to rush", and comes from the North English/Scottish dialect. In "Wuthering Heights" this refers to the blustery winds (wuthering) in the high lands, thus giving the house in the novel its name. So "Cime Tempestose" sounds like a fairly good equivalent. I suppose weather in Yorkshire (Northern England, close to Scotland) could be described like that sometimes....
