Etymology of KNOBBED

The word "knobbed" can be traced back to the Middle English term "knobbe", which was derived from the Old English word "cnotta". Both of these words referred to a rounded projection or protuberance. The Old English term "cnotta" was related to the Proto-Germanic word "knuttan" and the Old Norse word "knútr", meaning "knot" or "knot-like swelling". Over time, "knobbed" emerged as the past participle of "knob", signifying something with knobs or knobby features.
