Definition
Pressed or squeezed tightly together; secured firmly with or as if with a clamp.
Etymology
From Middle Dutch klampe meaning 'hook, cramp' or Middle Low German klampe. Related to the verb 'climb' through the notion of gripping or holding fast.
Kelly Says
The satisfying finality of 'clamped' reflects the tool it describes - there's something decisive about clamping that suggests permanence and security. The word has expanded beautifully into metaphorical uses, like 'clamped down on crime' or 'clamped shut,' where it conveys the same sense of firm, unyielding control applied to abstract concepts.
