cledge

释义

cledge|klɛdʒ|
[Of doubtful origin: probably connected with clag, as an umlaut derivative of same root.
If cledge went back to OE., its form would be clecg:—original *clagja-, or clagjo-; cf. edge, hedge. The latter correspond to Ger. eck(e, hecke, and it is possible that the analogue of cledge is kleck, klecke in sense ‘heap of dirt, sticky mass’: see kleck 2 a, in Grimm. Connexion with clay, OE. clǽᵹ, is excluded by the fact that there the ᵹ represents not palatalized g, but original j(y), klaijo-.]
A local name for clay or clayey soil, in Kent, etc.; also technically applied to the upper of the two beds of Fuller's Earth, in Bedfordshire, and elsewhere in England.
