cloud nine
語源
The origin of sense 1 (“a state of bliss”) is uncertain; however, the following etymology has been suggested:
- The first edition of the International Cloud Atlas (1896),[1] which defined ten types of cloud, described the ninth type as the cumulonimbus which rises to 10 km (6.2 miles), the highest a cloud can be.[2]
Compare cloud seven (“state of complete happiness または euphoria”),[3] which may have originated from confusion of cloud nine with seventh heaven.[2]
Sense 2 (“a state of fantastic または impractical dreaming または thinking”) may be due to a confusion between sense 1 and the phrase head in the clouds.
