tocked
Clock's deeper sound
Tocked is the past tense of tock, the sound a clock makes—specifically the second beat in the tick-tock pattern.
Clocks tick and tock in alternation: The grandfather clock ticked and tocked through the night.
The word is onomatopoeic, rarely used alone since tock almost always appears paired with tick.
