Etymology

Clavicule comes from the Latin *clavicula*, a diminutive of *clavus* meaning “key” (from Greek *kláviς*, “key”). The Latin term referred to the small, key‑shaped bone that supports the shoulder, and the word entered French unchanged, retaining the anatomical sense of the clavicle. The evolution simply preserved the classical root while adapting the spelling to French orthography.
