"Clears oneself" is not a single word, but a phrase consisting of two words: "clears" and "oneself".
The word "clear" originated around the 14th century and comes from the Old French word "cler", which means "light, bright, brilliant". The Old French term was derived from the Latin word "clarus", which also means "clear, bright, illustrious".
The word "oneself" is derived from the pronoun "one" and the reflexive pronoun "self". "One" originated from the Old English word "āna", meaning "alone" or "solitary". "Self" comes from the Old English word "sylf" and is related to the Old Norse word "sjalfr", both of which mean "the same".
