The word 'cirrostratus' traces back to the ancient, classical Latin language of the ancient Romans. The original Latin word is 'cirrus', which means 'a curl of hair, lock, or ringlet'; and 'stratus', which means 'layered' or 'stretched'.The term describes the layered or stretched curly look of thin clouds of ice crystals that may be accompanied by a halo. It forms more than 20,000 feet/6,000 meters above the ground. Its presence as a thin, very extensive veil over almost the entire sky may indicate moisture in the upper atmosphere, formation of a warm front, and possibility of precipitation within the next 12-24 hours.

It's a form of the word 'cirrus', meaning 'curl'. It's either dative or ablative singular.

Translating from Latin to English can be just as hard as translating from English to Latin. The Latin word cirro means crest in English.

The Latin word "cirro" is a prefix. When it is attached to the front of a cloud word, it refers to high altitudes.
