>>"Clootie Dumplin" (Dumpling pudding prepared in a linen cloth or "cloot") <<

I'm wondering if the word "cloot" might be derived from "clout", which meant a cloth covering (breech-clout)

M-W says:

1 a : a waste piece of cloth b plural : clothes usually in poor or ragged condition
2 : something resembling a rag
...and more

Thinking about how the Scots dialect changes -au (klaut) into -oo (cloot)

Or am I 180° off-course?
