Where this word comes from
16th century, of uncertain origin. The two most widely supported hypotheses are: * regional byform of *kloter, extension of kloot (“ball, lump”), from the general association of children with thickish, roundish objects; * deverbal from kleuteren, a byform of klateren, kletteren (“to clatter”), from the noise that children tend to make. Compare also peuter (“toddler”), which however is more recent (19th c.) and itself influenced by kleuter.
