IT IS CALLED A CLEW.
Clew, or clue, is a ball of thread. The meaning "something to help solve a mystery" comes from the myth of Theseus, who used a clew given to him by Ariadne to mark an escape route out of the Labyrinth.
Clew is originally a ball of yarn, and the lower part of a sail. The meaning "clue" ( itself a variant spelling of clew) comes from the tale of Theseus and the Minotaur. Ariadne gives Theseus a clew of yarn with which he is able to mark his way in, and so to find his way out, of the Labyrinth. "I don't have a clue" means "I don't know how to get out of this maze."
The Greek word for Ariadne's thread is clew.
