descended from a common ancestor, a traditional social group of families in the Scottish Highlands having a common hereditary chieftain, or any group defined by family ties with some sort of political unity [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/clan#English\">source<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>It was borrowed from <strong>clann<\/strong> in Irish or Scottish Gaelic, which come from the Old Irish <em>cland<\/em> (children, family, offspring, plant), from the Old Welsh <em>plant<\/em> (children, young people, offspring), from the Latin <em>planta<\/em> (vegetable, sprout, shoot, twig, shrub), possibly from the Proto-Italic <em>*pl\u0101nt\u0101<\/em>, from the Proto-Indo-European <em>*pleh\u2082-<\/em> (flat) or from the Proto-Italic <em>*pl\u0101nkt\u0101<\/em>, from the Proto-Indo-European <em>*pleh\u2082k-\/*pleh\u2082g-<\/em> (to strike, fast) [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/cland#Old_Irish\">source<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>Related words in the Celtic

Breton<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The English word <strong>plant<\/strong> comes from the same roots, via Middle English, Old English and Latin [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/plant#English\">source<\/a>], as does the word <strong>plantain<\/strong>, via Middle English, Anglo-Norman, Old French and Latin [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wiktionary.org\/wiki\/plantain#English\">source<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p>The word <strong>clan<\/strong> was borrowed from English into various other languages, including Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Portuguese and Spanish. It even ended up in Turkish, via French. So the Turkish word <strong>klan<\/strong> arrived via French, English, Irish\/Scottish Gaelic, Old Irish, Old Welsh, Latin, Proto-Italic and Proto-Indo-European &#8211; quite a journey!
