Etymology

From Middle English cloud, from Old English clūd (mass of stone, rock, boulder, hill), from Proto-West Germanic *klūt, from Proto-Germanic *klūtaz, *klutaz (lump, mass, conglomeration), from Proto-Indo-European *gel- (to ball up, clench).

Cognate with Scots clood, clud (cloud), Dutch kluit (lump, mass, clod), German Low German Kluut, Kluute (lump, mass, ball), German Kloß (lump, ball, dumpling), Danish klode (sphere, orb, planet), Swedish klot (sphere, orb, ball, globe), Icelandic klót (knob on a sword's hilt). Related to English clod, clot, clump, club. Largely replaced Middle English wolken, from Old English wolcn (whence Modern English welkin), the commonest Germanic word (compare Dutch wolk, German Wolke).
