Answer

FLICK

This word describes a quick, light, snapping movement, typically made by a finger or wrist. It can be used as both a noun and a verb. The word has been part of English since the 15th century and likely originated from an imitative or onomatopoeic source, mimicking the sound of a quick, sharp movement.

Strategy Tip

Words with the FL combination at the start are relatively common in English. If you suspect a word begins with FL, try words like FLAIR or FLAME early to confirm or eliminate this pattern quickly.
