cloudwards positive

Morphology

cloudwards = cloud (transparent) = cloud + wards

Form and meaning are straightforward: 'cloud' (including the computing sense) + directional suffix '-wards' yields 'toward the cloud/Cloud services'.

Etymology

Cloudwards comes from cloud ('online servers' or 'the internet') and -wards ('toward'), like in homewards. So to move cloudwards means to move data or services 'toward' the cloud, or put them online.
