bump
Knock into something
Bump, a noun and verb, sounds like what it is: an abrupt collision, or a swelling that results from this.
If you bump something, you hit it strongly enough to note the impact and perhaps to suffer from it.
In figurative use, if something gets bumped it is displaced or removed from its location or position.
You might be bumped up (promoted) or you might be bumped from an overbooked flight.
