So what is an SPD?
I wouldn't necessarily say that clipless pedals have clips. They're really more like a latch, some sort of slam latch, perhaps.
People say clip in and clip out all the time but you could also call it clicking in and clicking out.
Not sure how the toe clip got its name but it is vaguely like a money clip in some ways.
