Word origin
From Middle English clege, from Old Norse kleggi. Cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk klegg. Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *glōgʰ-s (“point”); compare Ancient Greek γλωχίς (glōkhís, “barb”).
Used in a sentence
“Sir Christopher Pack did cleave like a clegg, and was very angry he could not be heard ad infinitum.”
“Cattle were grazing languidly on the lush grass and flicking their tails to keep away the clegs that constantly plagued them and, having recently suffered a nasty bite from one, I was wary of them myself.”
“Whilst the swarms which surround you are annoying, they do not bite. It is the midges, clegs and ticks you should be on the lookout for.”
