    knell 丧钟声

    来自古英语cnyll,缓慢而沉重的钟声，拟声词。引申词义丧钟声。拼写可能受bell影响。

    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.
