Etymology

The word 'clouted' originates from the Middle English 'clut' or 'clout', which means a piece of cloth or a patch. In its early usage, it referred to a piece of cloth or a rag used for various purposes, including striking. Over time, 'clout' evolved to signify influence, particularly in relation to power dynamics. By the 16th century, the term began to take on social implications, describing individuals with significant sway or authority, especially in political spheres. This evolution mirrors societal changes where relationships and connections became essential in navigating power structures. In modern vernacular, 'clouted' encompasses both the notion of influence and the physical action of hitting, demonstrating the dynamic nature of language and its adaptability to cultural shifts.
