"cloporte" meaning in All languages combined

See cloporte on Wiktionary

Noun [French]

IPA: /klɔ.pɔʁt/ Audio: LL-Q150 (fra)-LoquaxFR-cloporte.wav Forms: cloportes [plural]
Etymology: Likely from clore (“to close”) + porte (“door”), from its habit of rolling into a ball. Another possible derivation is from an unattested *croteporque, mirrored in Occitan porquet de crota (“woodlouse”, literally “cave-pig”). In any case, the analysis in the first proposal is probably responsible for the figurative extension of the word to "porter, concierge". Etymology templates: {{af|fr|clore|porte|t1=to close|t2=door}} clore (“to close”) + porte (“door”), {{der|fr|oc|porquet de crota||woodlouse|lit=cave-pig}} Occitan porquet de crota (“woodlouse”, literally “cave-pig”) Head templates: {{fr-noun|m}} cloporte m (plural cloportes)
