The term "clip art" refers to what was originally quite literally "clip" art.  Scissors or a blade were used to cut images out of other printed material and to paste the images into a new format (similar to the technique used for collage.) "Gif" is an abbreviation for Graphic Interchange Format, an electronic bit mapping useful for graphics and logos.  It can display up to 256 colors and some limited animation.
