click

Sharp brief sound

A click is a short, distinct sound, like the click of a mouse button, and most meanings derive from this.

If you click something, you generate this sound, and often also accomplish something else: Click on the link.

Click languages, found in Africa, include a clicking sound that is made with the tongue.

Click can also convey compatibility.

If two people click, they like each other immediately and get along well.

If an idea clicks with people, they like it and adopt it.
