This colloquialism is not a recognized word in standard English dictionaries and is primarily found in informal contexts, such as text messages, online forums, or casual speech. The use of "nokts" is generally understood by native English speakers familiar with informal language variations. It serves as a phonetic representation of the action of knocking, offering a more direct and perhaps less formal way to convey the sound or action. There is no formal etymology or historical usage associated with "nokts" beyond its function as a phonetic slang term for "knocks." Its prevalence is limited to informal settings where such linguistic shortcuts are common.
