"etymology_text": "First attested in the early 18th century. Probably borrowed from English knock. The simplification of /kn/ to /n/ was already widespread around 1700, but not at all general. (In fact, some northern English dialects retained /kn/ until the recent past.) Moreover, the word may have been borrowed into Dutch some time before its first appearance in writing. Accordingly there is no phonetic objection to English origin. Alternatively, however, it might have been derived from Dutch knok, a variant of knook (“knuckle, bone”).",
