Etymology of THUNDERCOLUD

The word "thundercloud" is derived from English, combining the words "thunder" and "cloud".

The term "thunder" originated from the Old English word "thunor", which itself developed from the Proto-Germanic word "thunraz". This word referred to the sound produced by the atmospheric discharge of electricity during a storm.

The word "cloud" comes from the Old English word "clūd", which can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "klūdaz". This term described a mass of condensed water vapor suspended in the atmosphere.

Therefore, the combination of "thunder" and "cloud" to form the word "thundercloud" accurately reflects the natural phenomenon of a cloud associated with thunder and lightning during a storm.
