Etymology: Learned borrowing from Latin cirrus (“curl; fringe of clothes; mane (especially forelock) of a horse; etc”); further etymology unknown.
Sense 2 (“type of cloud”) was coined by the British chemist and amateur meteorologist Luke Howard (1772–1864): see the 1803 quotation.
The plural form cirri is also a learned borrowing from Latin cirrī, the nominative or vocative plural of cirrus.
Inflected forms:

gloss: Synonym of tendril (“a thin, spirally coiling stem that attaches a plant to its support”).
pos: noun
examples: Cirri are taken for thoſe fine Strings, or Hairs, by vvhich ſome Plants faſten themſelves, in order to their Support in creeping along; as Ivy, &c.

All creatures which have their skins protected, whether by feathers, or shells, or scales, have an exquisite touch in their mouth, or in the appendages which hang from it. Fishes have cirri which hang from their mouth, and these are equivalent to the feelers or tentacula of insects and crustaceans.

[…] [page 100] In fair weather, with light variable breezes, the sky is seldom quite clear of small groups of the oblique cirrus, which frequently come on from the leeward, and the direction of their increase is to windward.
Cirrus clouds moving from the southwest indicate falling temperature; moving from the northwest they indicate the probability of rising temperature. They are the mares' tales and cattails of sailors' cant. Near the horizon, cirrus clouds may have a stratiform appearance.
He looked at the sky and saw the white cumulus built like friendly piles of ice cream and high above where the thin feathers of the cirrus against the high September sky.
The blue sky is glossy and fat with heat, a few thin cirri sheared to blown strands like hair at the rims.
