What does CLOMB mean in Scrabble?
verb
archaic
To climb; clomb is a rare, old-fashioned inflection of climb no longer used in ordinary modern writing.
Clomb served for centuries as the everyday past tense of climb, existing side by side with the newer variant climbed until the latter eventually took over as the accepted form. Poets and regional storytellers kept clomb alive long after most speakers had dropped it, giving their lines an antique, homespun feel. Dictionaries today note the word mainly as a historical curiosity, something met in quotation rather than composed fresh. A reader coming across clomb in an old ballad or a dialect tale can simply understand it to mean climbed.
