Morphology

cloudwards = cloud (transparent) = cloud + wards

Literal spatial direction toward clouds is the prototypical use of '-wards' and is clearly derivable from 'cloud'.

Etymology

Cloudwards joins cloud ('clouds in the sky') and -wards ('toward'), similar to upwards. So cloudwards means moving up 'toward' the clouds in the sky.
