# clon

fragment

«clon» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. «Clon» is not an English word on its own. It is usually a piece of a longer word such as «clone», «cyclone» or «colon», cut off in the middle. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/C/clon/#m1)
2. In Irish place names «Clon-» (from Irish «cluain», a meadow) begins names such as Clonmel and Clontarf. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/C/clon/#m2)

### In the lessons

You meet «clon» only as part of words: «clone» (an exact copy of a living thing), «cyclone» (a huge storm). In Ireland, «Clon» begins many town names.
