The word "clarinet" may have entered the English language via the French clarinette (the feminine diminutive of Old French clarin), or from Provençal clarin ' oboe ', [1] originating from the Latin root clarus ' clear '. [2] The word is related to Middle English clarion, a type of trumpet, the name of which derives from the same root. [3] More @Wikipedia
