    idiomatic
Where this word comes from

Compound of koiran (“dog's”, genitive) + ilma (“weather”). One explanation is that since dogs were used to guard the house and stayed outdoors regardless of the weather, the idiom would have developed from a meaning such as "a weather that only a dog has to bear". Similar idioms are also found in other European languages, such as German Hundewetter.
