Root Explanation

Cloudscape → It is formed from "cloud" (from Old English "clud", meaning a mass of vapor or mist) and "-scape" (from Old English "sceap", meaning view or landscape). The word "cloudscape" refers to a view or landscape that features clouds prominently.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'view' ('-scape') that includes 'clouds' — that's what a cloudscape is, a landscape filled with clouds.
