A Scots or archaic English word for cloth; woven fabric or material.
From Old English clæth, related to cloth. In Scots English, this archaic form is sometimes preserved, and the pronunciation shifted to /kleɪð/ (with a long vowel).
Scots English holds onto old words that disappeared from standard English—claith, gowid (gold), and scho (she)—it's like a living museum of how English used to sound centuries ago.
