Etymology
The term 'klutz' originated from the Yiddish word 'klots', which means 'wooden block' or 'lump'. The evolution of the word into 'klutz' occurred in the early 20th century as it entered American English, primarily used to refer to someone who was ungainly or lacking in graceful movement. Over time, it became a popular informal expression, especially among younger generations, to describe individuals who are prone to accidents or have poor coordination. The adaptation into the comparative form 'klutzier' follows common patterns in English where adjectives can be intensified by adding '-ier' to indicate a higher degree of the quality being described. This evolution showcases the playful nature of language and its ability to adapt to more specific nuances.
