Etymology

The word 'thud' dates back to the late 17th century, possibly derived from the Old English 'thลซdan', which means to beat or strike. The formation of the term involved the onomatopoeic representation of the sound it describes, as it mimics the deep, resonant noise produced by a heavy object. Over time, 'thud' evolved into a noun and 'thudding' became its verb form, used to describe not only the sound itself but also the act that produces it. The association of 'thudding' with feelings of heaviness and tension has made it a popular choice in both literary and musical contexts, enhancing the emotional impact of scenes and experiences.
