Etymology
Elements goes back to the old idea of the four basic parts of nature: 'earth', 'air', 'fire' and 'water', which people long ago called elements. So, when you are 'exposed to the elements' it means you are open to those natural forces, like wind, rain or cold, and therefore to bad weather.
