CLOUD
What cloud means
A visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere that forms when warm air rises and cools.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "clud," originally meaning a mass of rock or hill. The sense shifted to describe a visible mass of water vapor in the sky, likely because clouds were likened to lumps or clumps in the air. The word may derive from a Germanic root related to clotting or clustering together, though its exact prehistoric origin remains uncertain.
