Word origin
The word 'nebulosity' originated from the Latin word 'nebulosus', meaning cloudy or misty. It entered the English language in the late 18th century and has been used primarily in meteorology to describe the cloudiness or haziness of the atmosphere. The term has since expanded to be used metaphorically to describe anything unclear or vague.
