- 1攀爬；手腳並用爬過去
To clamber is to get somewhere the hard way, using your hands and your feet, because the place is steep, awkward, or has no proper path. You clamber over rocks, up a muddy bank, into the back of a truck, over a wall. It is slower than a clean climb, and it often looks a little : you pull, scramble, and catch your weight. Children clamber; walkers clamber; a cat can clamber onto a shed. Mountaineers more often just climb. You can also use it as a noun: a clamber over the rocks means that awkward climb itself. Informal to neutral spoken English — a doing word, not a grand one.

組成Does not split in today's English. From Middle English clambren, to climb or to crawl. Scholars do not all agree after that: it may come from an old past tense of climb, or from an old Germanic verb of the same kind. Scots has clammer; Low German has similar climb-words. The noun (a clamber) comes from the verb.
