Old Church Slavonic
Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *kleveta.
Usually compared with Proto-Slavic *klьvati (“to peck, pick (of a bird)”), which was supported by Vasmer. However Preobrazhenskiy pointed to semantic differences while Trubachev claimed a deverbal noun from such a thematic verb would have been **klьvota (like зевота) and proposed a better comparison with dialectal Czech kleviti(se) (“to gossip”) and Arkhangelsk dialectal Russian клевить (klevitʹ, “to tease, pester”).
