garlic clove
noun, verbOne way to hold this group: something that has been split. Press a whole garlic and it falls into pieces that were always ready to come apart; each of those pieces is a clove. Keep that picture of a thing coming apart along its natural line and the rest of this group follows - the act of splitting, and the gap that a split leaves in the land.
From the word’s history
This group goes back to Old English clufu, which is related to cleofan, to cleave or split; the same old root sits behind the verb form clove and behind Dutch klove, the source of the American valley word.
這一支往上追是古英語 clufu，跟 clēofan（劈開）有親戚關係。同一個老根也連著動詞 cleave 的過去式 clove，以及荷蘭文的 klove——美東那個「窄山谷」就是從荷蘭文借來的。

clove spice
nounA different word that happens to be spelled the same. One way to see it: a tiny dark nail. The dried bud has a round head and a sharp point, hard enough to push into the skin of a ham, and that nail shape is where the name comes from.
From the word’s history
From Old French clou, the first part of clou de girofle, and before that Latin clavus, a nail - named for the shape of the dried bud.
來自古法文 clou（clou de girofle 的前半），再往上是拉丁文 clāvus「釘子」。名字直接取自乾燥花苞像釘子的外型。
