Etymology

Borrowed from German Kloß (“dumpling”), perhaps through the Silesian variant Kluß. Further from Middle High German klōz, from Old High German klōz, from Proto-Germanic *klautaz. Compare how Polish has borrowed the more northern German word, while other Slavic languages have borrowed the southern Knödel (see there).
