Clod, n., Clutter to clot.]] A concretion or coagulation; esp. a soft, slimy, coagulated mass, as of blood; a coagulum. “Clots of ropy gore.” Addison. Doth bake the egg into clots as if it began to poach. Bacon. ☞ Clod and clot appear to be radically the same word, and are so used by early writers; but in present use clod is applied to a mass of earth or the like, and clot to a concretion or coagulation of soft matter.
