Longue queue: rang de « cloudy » en français
Rare enough to double-check
cloudy is uncommon French outside the top frequency list, classed as anadjective, transcribed \ˈklaʊ.di\. Rarity is why readers land here mid-draft. 2 senses are on record.
cloudy doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, which points to an orthography that plays by predictable French rules. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since nothing in our dataset looks or sounds close enough to cause mix-ups.
No explicit etymology string is stored for this entry, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is cloudy, spelled C-L-O-U-D-Y.
