Webster's 1913 Dictionary
 
 Definition: 
  1. \Clot\, n. [OE. clot, clodde, clod; akin to D. kloot ball,
    G. kloss clod, dumpling, klotz block, Dan. klods, Sw. klot
    bowl, globe, klots block; cf. AS. cl[=a]te bur. Cf. {Clod},
    n., {Clutter} to clot.]
    A concretion or coagulation; esp. a soft, slimy, coagulated

                                                   --Bacon.
    Note: Clod and clot appear to be radically the same word, and
          are so used by early writers; but in present use clod
          is applied to a mass of earth or the like, and clot to
          a concretion or coagulation of soft matter.
    
  2. \Clot\, v. i. [imp. & p. p. {Clotted}; p. pr. & vb. n.
    {Clotting}.]
