: Reference: Oönskade ekon, så kallat klotter, uppstår av att den omkringliggande miljön belyses. Link: fhs.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:282738/FULLTEXT01 . The English term "clutter" does, however, seem to be the origin of the Swedish term "klotter".

Clutter
English Wikipedia:
Clutter
Clutter refers to radio frequency (RF) echoes returned from targets which are uninteresting to the radar operators.

Swedish Wikipedia:
Klotter betecknar i radarsammanhang ett slags störning, som kan dölja efterspanade mål med svaga ekon. Orsaken kan vara reflexer från vågor i sjön, regn m m. Detta klotter är en anglicism av ordet clutter med samma betydelse.
