Word origin
The word 'clang' originated from Middle English 'clangen', which is of imitative origin, representing the sharp sound it describes. It has been used to depict loud, resonant noises, especially those produced by metal objects colliding. The term has evolved over time to symbolize a striking, harsh sound that captures attention.
