Etymology
The word 'clang' comes from the Old English 'clingan', meaning 'to make a loud ringing or banging noise'. This term is closely related to similar words found in other Germanic languages, which also refer to sharp or sudden sounds. The evolution of the word has adapted over time to encompass various contexts of loud metallic noises. The past tense form, 'clanged', has been in use since at least the 16th century, capturing the action of creating such a noise. As industrialization took hold, the term became more common in everyday language, as factories and machines produced clanging sounds regularly throughout the workday.
