A powerful hit or blow that breaks something, or a hugely successful movie, song, or show that becomes very popular.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "smachen," possibly influenced by Old Norse "smakkr" (taste, flavor) or derived from an imitative root meant to suggest the sound of impact. The sense shifted from tasting or striking to the modern meaning of breaking forcefully by collision. The noun came later, eventually broadened to mean a hit or success, especially in entertainment.
