Clouds at high altitude use the prefix cirro while clouds at middle altitude use the prefix alto. I know this is not in the question but clouds at low altitude don't use any specific prefix. I am also in love with Arturo B.
The prefix meaning broken pieces of clouds is "scud".
A prefix for clouds at middle altitudes is "alto-". This prefix is used to indicate clouds that form between approximately 6,500 and 20,000 feet above ground level.
The prefix "cirro-" refers to high-altitude clouds, specifically cirrus clouds. The prefix "alto-" refers to middle-altitude clouds, specifically altocumulus and altostratus clouds.
The prefix cirro means clouds at a high altitude.
re would be the prefix of cover
The prefix "cirro-" in meteorology refers to clouds that are high in the atmosphere, typically above 20,000 feet. These clouds are often wispy and thin, such as cirrus clouds, and can indicate fair weather or the approach of a warm front.
The mid-altitude clouds are given the prefix, "Alto." Alto means high. These clouds are between 6000 and 20,000 feet. There is no prefix meaning middle for clouds.
In Latin, the prefix Alto- means 'high' for clouds like Altocumulus, and Altostratus.

Dis-cover, un-cover, re-cover
yes, some clouds cover the rocky mountains because they are so tall. clouds usually cover the tops of mountains.
