Etymology
1. O.E.
clod- (in
clod-hamer "field-goer"), from P.Gmc.
*kludda-, from PIE
*g(e)leu, from base
*gel- "to make round." Synonymous with
clot until 18c.
Clodhopper "rustic" first attested 1690, originally "plowman."
2. From Middle English clod, a late by-form of clot, from Old English clot, from Proto-West Germanic *klott (“mass, ball, clump”). Compare clot and cloud; cognate to kloot (“clod”).
3. Alternatively, Middle English clod may derive from Old English *clod (found in Old English clodhamer (“a kind of thrush”) and Clodhangra (a placename)), from Proto-West Germanic *kloddō (“lump, clod”), from *gel- (“to ball up, become lumpy”), related to West Frisian klodde (“clod, lump”), Dutch klodde (“lump, blob”).
