Etymology

1. Borrowed from Middle Low German klever (“clover”), ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *klaibrā (“clover”), of uncertain further origin. The card-suit sense developed from the clover- or trefoil-shaped card symbol; according to Bokmålsordboka, in this sense from German or French, ultimately from Latin trifolium (“three-leaf, trefoil”).
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk kløver, Danish kløver, Swedish klöver, Low German Klaver, Klever, Klöver, Dutch klaver, English clover and German Klee (“clover”). See: Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns 'kløver', Danish Nouns 'kløver', Dutch Nouns 'klaver', English Nouns 'clover', German Nouns 'Klee'.
