Etymology
The word 'clover' comes from the Old English 'clฤfre', which has its roots in Proto-Germanic *klabraz, meaning 'to clave or to split'. This relates to the plant's characteristic leaves, which are divided into three leaflets. The connection between clover and luck is particularly strong in Irish culture, where the three-leaf variety is associated with the Holy Trinity. It was believed that each leaf represented faith, hope, and love. The four-leaf variant is considered even luckier, as it is rare and often sought after. In addition to its cultural significance, clover has been used historically for its medicinal properties and as a forage crop due to its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, making it an important plant in both agriculture and ecology.
