Just three Latin words unlock the meanings of most cloud names:
Stratus meaning layer;
cumulus, the word for lump or heap; and
cirrus, which means wispy or curly. Add to this basic group the word
nimbus, which means 'pouring down rain,' alto, the word meaning middle, and fracto for broken and you've got almost the entire sky covered.
