clutters

Fills with disorder

Clutters is the third-person singular form of clutter, meaning to fill a space with too many things in a disorderly way: Junk mail clutters the counter.

The noun clutter refers to the mess itself—an accumulation of scattered objects that create disorder: The clutters of papers on his desk made it impossible to find anything.
