...The Latin verb clavo (past particple clavatum) has a secondary meaning of 'to furnish with purple stripes'...




I would have expected some relation to clave/key (but maybe I'm just being naive) Edit: "naïve" - right on! option-u-i and &#239 both work.

[aside: Is there an ASCII # or even an &# for i-with-a-dieresis for "naive"]
