A layer or bed of clover plants, or land covered with clover growth.
Compound of 'clover' (from Old English 'clāfre') and 'lay' (from Old English 'lecgan,' to place or lie). The term combines the plant name with the concept of a stratum or layer.
Medieval farmers understood that 'cloverlay'—letting clover grow in fields—was like giving the soil a free nutrient boost, so crop rotation with clover became the foundation of sustainable farming for centuries!
