Use of Clarity vs. Sharpness

I have seen a few comments go by where the term clarity is being used where I would have used 'sharp'. (as in: 'great clarity' .. as opposed to 'very sharp')Are people using clarity meant to mean sharpness? Clarity to me is a grading measuring imperfections. (inclusions in diamonds, dirt in water).
I suppose that this definition could be applied to a photograph but given the relative subjective nature of imperfections in a photo I am not sure.

Any comments?

(And the usual disclaimer that if this is covered elsewhere please forgive me .. I sorta looked but nothing showed up)
