What cleft means
A split or fissure in something, particularly a divide between two parts or sections, such as a cleft in a chin or a cleft in a rock.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *clēofan* meaning "to split or divide," related to Old Saxon *klioban* and Old High German *kleiban*.

The past participle *cleft* became a noun describing a split or fissure, as in "cleft palate."
