- 1哐當；金屬沉重碰撞聲
If a metal thing clanks, it makes a short, heavy sound — not a pretty ring, and not a light little clink. Think of a chain, a steel door, or pans knocking together: a dull, loud clank. You can use it as a verb (the gate clanked shut) and as a noun (a clank of chains). It is ordinary English, a bit vivid, fine in speech and writing. The word is trying to sound like the noise itself.

組成The word is onomatopoeic: people made it to copy the sound, rather than building it from older pieces.
