different between brumous vs cloudy
brumous
English
Etymology
brume +? -ous, probably modelled after French brumeux (“foggy, hazy, misty”), from Late Latin br?mosus (“wintry”), from Latin br?ma (“winter solstice; winter; winter cold”) + -?sus (“suffix forming adjectives from nouns”). Br?ma is derived from brevima, brevissima (“shortest”), the superlative of brevis (“brief; short”) (the winter solstice being the shortest day of the year), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mré??us (“brief, short”).
