Etymology
In the central part of Russia, the words “clean”, “clean” can be used in the meaning “open place” (both natural and “created” by man), and in the Smolensk region - “a large sphagnum swamp, completely treeless”. It is likely that the name of the lake is associated with this phenomenon [1] .
