Etymology
1. 1586, from Du.
klomp "lump, mass," or Low Ger.
klump. O.E. had
clympre "lump, mass of metal." The verb "to tread heavily" is first recorded 1665.
2. From Middle English clompe, from Old English clymppe, a variant of clympre (“a lump or mass of metal”), from Proto-Germanic *klumpô (“mass, lump, clump; clasp”), from Proto-Indo-European *glembʰ- (“lump, clamp”).
3. Alternatively, possibly from Middle Dutch clompe or Middle Low German klumpe (compare German Klumpen). Doublet of klomp.
4. Cognates include Danish klump (probably from Low German as well). Compare Norwegian Bokmål klump. See: German, old spelling '
Klumpen'.
