Etymology
From Early New High German de Knobloch, from de gmh knobelouch, with dissimilation from gmh klobelouch from de goh chlobalouh clove-leek, from de gmw-pro *klobulauk; from now dialectal de klieben to cleave and de Lauch leek.
The dissimilated kl- was adapted to the large group of terms for thick objects beginning with kn- (cf. de Knopf, de Knoten, de Knolle, etc.). The same in nl knoflook.
