/klæm/

Forms: 1500s– clem ( clemmed), 1600s– clam. Mod. dialect: Lancashire, Cheshire, Shropshire, Huddersfield, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, clem, clam; Whitby, Staffordshire, S. Cheshire, Hereford, Flint, clem; Westmorland, Mid Yorkshire, Holderness, Lincolnshire, Northampton, clam.

Etymology: cognate with Middle High German, modern German, Middle Dutch, Dutch klemmen to pinch, cramp, compress, Danish klemme , Swedish klämma to press, squeeze, pinch. In the older stages evidenced only in compounds: Old English beclemman to restrain, confine, shut in, Old Saxon biklemmjan to pinch, Old High German bichlemmen to clutch, compress, squeeze (modern German and Dutch beklemmen to pinch, distress); Old Saxon also antklemmjan to burst open. These indicate a Common Germanic *klammjan , < klamm- , Old English clamm , clǫmm noun ‘fetter, cramp, constriction, confinement’; see clam n.¹ Middle English has forclemmed in Early Eng. Allit. Poems. The simple verb hardly appears before 1600, but is widely spread in the forms clem and clam over the northern half of England from Westmorland to Leicester, and from Lincoln to Hereford. Its distribution makes it possible that it is here of Norse origin.
