nimbus in latin is a rain cloud, a cloud, a cloudburst, a shower

Nimbus

Latin, related to Nebula, nephele, properly vapour, cloud), in art and archeology signifies a shining light implying great dignity. Closely related are the halo, glory, and aureole.

EDIT: Nimbus:

Literally it is a violentl- pouring rain-storm.

The meaning was then transferred to a could that produced such a storm: a dark raincould. From that meaning there stemmed many more: any dark cloud, anything that was shaped like a cloud, a kind headband worn by women (maybe shaped like a cloud), and a vessel for sprinkling perfume (so it poured out perfume like a cloud poured out rain).
