What is the difference in definition between clr and jit compiler? Does the
use of jit make .NET an interpreted language, or is it still a compiled
language, or both?

The JIT compiler is just one small part of the CLR.

The code is never interpreted in .NET - always JIT compiled and then
executed natively (with support from the CLR, of course).
