Etymology
The word 'clog' originated from the Dutch word 'klomp', which means a block of wood. Clogs have been worn for centuries in various cultures as protective footwear. The verb form of 'clog' evolved from the idea of something being blocked or obstructed, similar to how a physical clog can block a drain or passage.
