cloudlessness

/ˈkɫaʊdɫəsnəs/ noun

Absence of clouds.

Word Origin Cloudlessness is the state of being without clouds. Cloud comes from Proto-Germanic klūtaz, which originally meant a lump or mass — think of a clod of earth or a rock. So a cloud is a lump in the sky. The -less suffix from lausaz 'lacking' gives us cloudless, and -ness makes it a noun. The same -less appears in countless, flawless, relentless.
