1816 T. Forster in Philos. Mag. 47 46 Cirrocumulus, or Sondercloud, i.e. cloud consisting of an aggregate of clouds asunder (from A.S. sond, Old Eng. a-sonder and sonder): the distinguishing marks of this cloud being that of separate orbs aggregated together, and the change to this cloud from others is a separation of continuity into particules.

1895 Leisure Hour 536/2 The blue heavens began to be covered with little clumps of cloud, which kept carefully apart—those ‘proud’ of heaven, the sonder-clouds.

1909 Brit. Almanac & Family Cycl. 51/1 Cirro-cumulus.—Sondercloud.—Extensive beds of a number of well-defined orbicular masses of clouds, or small cumuli, in close horizontal apposition.
