Tycoon and typhoon...

In Barrons they come together both of the words start with “T” and end with “N” who are they? I am very sorry to break this mystery very quickly. These are the words Tycoon and Typhoon. Again at first glance we see no obvious connection between them.

Tycoon (N): A wealthy leader.This word comes from Japan. it was a title applied to shogun of Japan. This word may be hacked as “da” + “jun” meaning great prince. Now lets see the other word.

Typhoon (N): Tropical hurricane or cyclone.This word come from Chinese and it can be hacked as “da ” + “feng” meaning a great / big wind. Mysterious as it may seem this word is also related to a very familiar Urdu word “Tufaan”.
