🌳Etymology
Origin
Cloudless is a compound formation from Old English 'clud' (originally meaning 'rock' or 'hill') combined with the suffix '-less' (meaning 'without'). The noun 'cloud' initially referred to masses of rock or earth, but gradually shifted in meaning during the Middle English period to denote masses of water vapour in the sky.

cloud (from Old English clud, meaning rock or mass of vapour) + -less (suffix meaning without or lacking).
