unclouded
|un/cloud/ed|
/ʌnˈklaʊdɪd/
clear and unobscured
Etymology
'unclouded' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'clouded', where 'cloud' meant 'to cover with clouds'.
'unclouded' changed from the Old English word 'clūd' meaning 'mass of rock' and eventually became the modern English word 'cloud', with 'un-' added to denote the opposite.
Initially, it meant 'not covered with clouds', but over time it evolved to also mean 'clear in thought or expression'.
