clois

See also: clóis and Clois

Irish

Etymology

From Middle Irish cloistid,[1] apparently a conflation of coistid (is silent, listens) with clúas (hearing). Coistid is a late form of Old Irish con·túaisi. Cognate with Manx clasht and Scottish Gaelic claist.

The past tense forms are suppletive and originally belonged to cluin, itself from Old Irish ro·cluinethar.
