Word origin

The word 'clamber' has its origins in the early 14th century, derived from the Middle English term 'clamberen,' which meant to climb or to scramble. This, in turn, can be traced back to the Old English 'clambor,' referring to climbing or clambering. The prefix 'clam-' suggests a notion of clinging or grasping, which reflects the action of using both hands and feet in a somewhat awkward manner. Over the centuries, the term has retained its basic meaning but has also evolved to encompass various contexts of laborious movement. The use of the word has been prevalent in literature and language, often painting vivid imagery of characters in challenging physical situations.
