Etymology
The word 'clatter' has its origins in Middle English, derived from the word 'clatren,' which means to make a noise. It is also influenced by the Old Norse word 'klaka,' which refers to the act of clapping or striking. Throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, the meaning of 'clatter' evolved to describe the sound made by hard objects striking each other. The verb 'clattered' is the past tense form, indicating that the action occurred in the past. As urban life grew and the use of metal and glass became more common in household items, the term became increasingly associated with the noisy chaos of daily life, such as breaking dishes or the sounds from busy streets.
