The answer
KNOCK
What knock means
To strike or hit something with force, typically with your knuckles or fist, usually making a loud sound.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *cnucian*, meaning to strike or hit. The word likely comes from a Germanic root related to Old Norse *knúka* (to push or press). The initial "k" was pronounced in Old English but became silent in Middle English, though it remained in the spelling. The sense shifted gradually from a simple blow to the specific sound made by striking a door or surface.
