clutter (KLUHT-er) - v., to fill or cover with things in a disorderly manner; to make disorderly or hard to use by filling or covering with objects.
Plus as a noun, the objects cluttering something up. Formed in Middle English as cloteren, frequentive form of clot, same meaning as the modern word, which is from Old English clott, also same meaning, cognate of clod. So I have this image as clutter as what should be a smoothly plowed field blocked up with clods.
