Etymology

The word 'klutzy' is believed to have originated in the early 20th century in American English. It is derived from the Yiddish word 'klots', which means 'a block or lump'. This term was used to describe someone who is physically awkward or clumsy. The informal nature of the word makes it a colloquialism often used in casual conversation. Over time, 'klutzy' has evolved to describe a range of individuals who may not necessarily be hindered by physical disabilities but are simply prone to awkward movements or mishaps. The popularity of 'klutzy' is evident in its frequent use in both spoken and written English, especially in humorous contexts.
