Etymology

1. c.1375, possibly frequentative of M.E. climben "to climb," or akin to O.N. klembra "to hook (oneself) on."
2. From Middle English clambren, clameren, clemeren (“to climb, clamber; to crawl, creep”), then either:
3. * possibly from clam, clamb, clemb, past tense of climben (“to climb, get over; to ascend, rise”), and influenced by Old English clæmman (“to press”); or
4. * from Old English *clambrian, from Proto-Germanic *klambrōną or *klambizōną.
5. The English word is cognate with Low German klemmern, klempern (“to climb”), Scots clammer (“to clamber”); and compare also Danish klamre (“to cling”), Icelandic klambra, klembra (“to pinch closely together; clamp”), Swedish klamra (“to cling”).
6. The noun is derived from the verb. See: Old English 'clæmman', Low Saxon 'klemmern', Danish 'klamre', Icelandic 'klambra', Swedish 'klamra'.

Sample Sentences

  • [...] clothes on, I deposit them upon the ground: not without soiling my hands, for it is in the same condition as the carpets in the Capitol, and from the same cause. Having but partially undressed, I clamber on my shelf, and hold the curtain open for a few minutes while I look round on all my fellow-travellers again. That done, I let it fall on them, and on the world: turn round: and go to sleep. (American Notes for General Circulation)
