knell词源

knell (n.)

Old English cnyll \"sound made by a bell when struck or rung slowly,\" perhaps of imitative origin. The Welsh cnull \"death-bell\" appears to be a borrowing from English. For vowel evolution, see bury.

knell (v.)

Old English cnyllan \"to toll a bell; strike, knock,\" cognate with Middle High German erknellen \"to resound,\" Old Norse knylla \"to beat, thrash;\" probably imitative. Related: Knelled; knelling.
