Etymology of CLEM
The word "clem" can have multiple meanings, but assuming you are referring to the slang usage meaning "to be hungry", the etymology is uncertain.
"Clem" as a slang term for being hungry originated in British English and is primarily used in Northern England and Scotland. It is believed to be derived from the Old English word "clemian", meaning "to starve" or "to be famished". The Old Norse word "klemma", meaning "to press" or "to squeeze", could also have influenced the development of the word.
However, it is important to note that the exact origin and evolution of slang terms like "clem" can be challenging to trace definitively. They often emerge and evolve spontaneously within specific communities or regions, making it difficult to pinpoint a precise etymology.
