Word origin
The word 'clatter' has its origins in the Middle English word 'clatren', which meant 'to make a loud, rattling sound'. It is believed to have evolved from the Old Norse word 'klatri', which also meant 'rattle'. Over time, 'clatter' has retained its original meaning of a loud, continuous rattling sound, whether produced by hard objects falling or striking each other or by the rapid movement of something.
