Explanation and Etymology - (雲) kumo

The Japanese word 雲 (kumo) means "cloud". The etymology of the word goes back to ancient Chinese, where the word was written as 雲 (yún). The word is believed to have originated from the idea of "smoke" or "vapour", and gradually evolved to refer specifically to clouds in the sky. The word is composed of the characters 雨 (ame), which means "rain", and 云 (kumo), which means "to say" or "to speak". Together, these characters suggest the idea of "clouds that talk about rain".
