Pictogram (象形): a stylized picture of clouds.
Jiajie (假借) - The character was subsequently borrowed for a near-homophone meaning "to say", and the original meaning came to be represented by 雲 (OC *ɢun), through the addition of a semantic component 雨 (“rain”).
The simplified form adopted by the People's Republic of China in the 1950s eliminates this later addition and uses 云 for both "to say" and "cloud".
Etymology 1
For pronunciation and definitions of 云 – see 雲 (“cloud; cloud; etc.”). (This character is the simplified and variant form of 雲). |

Etymology 2
Perhaps cognate to 謂 (OC *ɢuds) (Wang Li, 1982).
