cledgen.

/klɛdʒ/

Etymology: Of doubtful origin: probably connected with clag n., as an umlaut derivative of same root. If cledge went back to Old English, its form would be clecg < original *clagja- , or clagjo- ; compare edge , hedge . The latter correspond to German eck(e , hecke , and it is possible that the analogue of cledge is kleck , klecke in sense ‘heap of dirt, sticky mass’: see kleck 2 a , in Grimm. Connection with clay n., Old English clǽg, is excluded by the fact that there the g represents not palatalized g, but original j(y), klaijo-.

A local name for clay or clayey soil, in Kent, etc.; also technically applied to the upper of the two beds of Fuller's Earth, in Bedfordshire, and elsewhere in England.
