This word is not in Johnson’s Vocabulary,though he has taken notice of it under the word Cloth ,and says it is the plural of that word. With great de-ference to his authority, I think it is rather derivedfrom the verb To clothe than from the noun cloth, asthis word has its regular plural, cloths, which pluralregularly sounds the th, as in this,46g, and not as swhich is a corruption that, in my opinion, is not in-curable. I see no reason why we may not as easilypronounce the th in this word as in the third personof the verb To clolfte.
