The Latin stratus, "spread out" or "layer", and the Latin cumulus, "clumped" or "heaped", were combined to describe this class of cloud, which is a high layer of thick, dark clouds. Clouds were first classified by the English scientist Luke Howard in the early 1800's. (see link)

∙ 14y agoThe Latin meaning of the 'stratocumulus' form of cloud is the following: stretched-out heap. The phrase is based on the combination of two words in Latin. One is 'stratum', from the verb 'sternere', which means 'to stretch or to spread out'. Another is 'cumulus', which means 'a heap, mass, or pile'.
