Etymology of CLARTS

The word "clarts" is believed to have originated in the North of England and Scotland, where it is used to describe thick, sticky mud or dirt.

The etymology of "clarts" is unclear and there are several theories regarding its origin. One possibility is that it is derived from the Middle English word "clart", meaning "to smear or spread with dirt". This word, in turn, may have come from the Old Norse word "kladda", which also means "to smear" or "to soil".
