Solution(By Examveda Team)

The Arabs introduced the term 'monsoon'. The word monsoon is derived from the Arabic word 'mausim', meaning season. It was first used by Arabic navigators to describe the seasonal winds of the Arabian Sea. Although the term monsoon actually means a seasonal wind, it is often used to refer to the torrential rainfall associated with these winds.
