clankn.

Brit.

/klaŋk/, U.S.

/klæŋk/

Forms: Also 1600s clanck.

Etymology: This and the verb of same form appear in 17th cent. They may have been from Dutch, which has klank sound, clinking noise, Middle Dutch clank, clanc, corresponding to Old High German chlanch, Middle High German klanc, Middle Low German klank, for which modern German has only klang. But it is quite possible that the word is of native origin, produced under the joint influence of clink and clang, to express a sound intermediate to the two, which has the quality of a ‘clang’, but is abruptly shortened like a ‘clink’.

1. A sharp, abrupt sound, as of heavy pieces of metal (e.g. links of a heavy chain) struck together; differing from clang in ending abruptly with the effect of a knock.
