What clump means

A thick mass or lump of something held or growing together, such as a clump of trees or a clump of dirt.

Where the word comes from

From Middle Low German *klumpe* and Middle Dutch *klompe*, both meaning a lump or chunk. These Germanic words likely stem from an imitative or expressive root capturing the sound and sense of something heavy and compact falling or striking together. The word entered English in the 16th century and has since meant a cluster or thick mass of something.
