Thick, solid lumps or groups of things clustered together, like clumps of dirt or plants growing in bunches.
From Low German 'klump' or Dutch 'klomp,' meaning a lump or block. Entered English around the 1600s, likely from trade contact.
The word 'clump' perfectly captures the sound and feel of something heavy and thick—say it out loud and the sound is almost onomatopoetic, matching the dull thud of a heavy mass.
