Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish clavo, from Latin clāvus. The conservation of Latin /kl-/ is irregular (normally the result is /ʎ/, but cf. claro), which might imply a degree of Latin influence. Still, it is difficult to regard such a mundane term as learned or even semi-learned. First attested in the twelfth century. Compare Portuguese cravo. See: Latin Nouns '
clāvus', Portuguese Nouns '
cravo'.
