Etymology

Possibly formed as a diminutive of Proto-Indo-European *ḱuh₁-mós (“heap”), from *ḱewh₁- (“to swell”) + *-mós. Cognates from this root include Ancient Greek κῦμᾰ (kûmă, “swell, wave”), Lithuanian saunas (“firm, fit, solid, capable”), and Sanskrit श्वयति (śvayati, “swell”). However, Schrijver thinks the evidence for deriving cumulus from *ḱewh₁- is weak. Proto-Indo-European *-uH- usually became Latin -ū- before a consonant, but De Vaan argues -u- might be the outcome of a regular sound change that shortened pretonic long vowels before resonants (discussed in Schrijver) or alternatively, analogy with tumulus.
