Etymology

From Middle English clad, cladde, cled(e), cledde, past tense and past participle forms of clethen (“(also figurative) to put clothing on, clothe, dress; to provide clothing to; to arm, equip; to cover, envelop; to conceal; to adorn”), from Old English clǣðan (past tense clǣðde, *clædde), probably from clǣþ, clāþ (“cloth; (plural) clothes”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gleh₁y-, *gley- (“to adhere, cling, stick to”).
