'That word' (below-hyperlinked to a post on Throat-anatomy) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Windpipe” (Trachea) is from “Wind” (in the "Breath"-sense) + "Pipe."
The word “Wind” is built on words that mean “to Blow” (assoc. with Breath in "Long-Winded" or "getting a Second-Wind" or 'the Wooden Breath-Fueled Instruments of an Orchestra'; Sound made by Blowing a Horn, to Perceive by Scent) or (pronounced with a 'long "I"') "to Turn, Weave" (Wend, Wander, to Entwine oneself around, Twist Round-&-Round, Set a Watch-etc. by Tightening its Spring).
.The word “Pipe” is built on words that mean “Small Reed, Whistle” (imitative—Chirp, Peep; Liquid Measure, Cask for Wine.)
And the surname comes from the occupation of Flute- or Pipe-Player.
