lump, mass”).\nCognate with Swedish klyka (“clamp, fork, branch”). The noun is from Middle English cleche, cloche, cloke (\"claw, talon, hand\"; compare Scots cleuk, cluke, cluik (“claw, talon”)), of uncertain origin, with the form probably assimilated to the verb.\nAlternative etymology derives Old English clyċċan from Proto-Germanic *klēk- (“claw, hand”), from Proto-Indo-European *glēk-, *ǵlēḱ- (“claw, hand; to clutch, snatch”). If so, then cognate with Irish glac (“hand”).", "forms": [{"form": "clutches", "tags": ["plural"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "clutch (plural clutches)", "name": "en-noun"}], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "noun", "senses": [{"glosses": ["The claw of a predatory animal or bird."], "links": [["claw", "claw"]]}, {"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1676, Ed[ward] Stillingfleet, “An Answer to T[homas] G[odden]’s Charge of Contradictions, Paradoxes, Reproach of the Second Council of Nice, School Disputes; and to His Parallel Instances”, in A Discourse Concerning the Idolatry Practised in the Church of Rome, […], London: […] Robert White for Henry Mortlock […], →OCLC, part II (Being a Particular Defence of the Charge of Idolatry against the Church of Rome in the Worship of Images), page 786:", "text": "I muſt have great leiſure, and little care of my ſelf, if I ever more come near the Clutches of ſuch a Giant, who ſeems to write with a Beetle inſtead of a Pen; […]", "type": "quote"}, {"ref": "1785, William Cowper, “Book V.
