Etymology
Clavier is derived from the French word "clavier," which itself comes from the Latin word "clavis," meaning "key."
Meaning
A clavier is a musical keyboard instrument that produces sound by pressing keys that strike or pluck strings, bars, or reeds. It is a general term that encompasses instruments such as the piano, harpsichord, and clavichord.
Origin
The earliest known claviers were the harpsichord and the clavichord, which emerged in the 13th and 14th centuries, respectively. The piano was invented in the early 18th century and gradually replaced the harpsichord and clavichord as the dominant keyboard instrument.
Usage
The term "clavier" is primarily used in musical contexts to refer to keyboard instruments in general, or to specific types of keyboard instruments, such as the "clavier" setting on a digital piano. It can also be used to refer to the keyboard itself, as in "the black keys on the clavier."
