Definition sky
Etymology
From Middle English sky, from Old Norse ský (“cloud”), from Proto-Germanic *skiwj?, *skiwô (“cloud, cloud cover, haze”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kew- (“to cover, hide, cloud”). Cognate with Old English sc?o (“cloud”), Old Saxon scio, skio, skeo (“light cloud cover”), Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Bokmål sky (“cloud”), Old Irish ceo (“mist, fog”), Irish ceo (“mist, fog”). Also related to Old English sc?a (“shadow, darkness”), Latin obsc?rus (“dark, shadowy”), Sanskrit ???????? (skun??ti, “he covers”). Partially displaced Middle English heven, (from Old English heofon) (whence English heaven). Compare German Himmel and Dutch hemel. See also English hide, hut, house, hose, shoe.
