Etymology

Borrowed from a Germanic language (compare Middle High German kleinōt, Middle Low German klênö̂de), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *klainiz (shining, splendid) + a Germanic suffix corresponding to Old High German -ōti.

Alternatively, the second element may possibly represent Old High German ōt, from Proto-West Germanic *aud (wealth, riches, possession).
