knob
[nɒb]
[nɑb]
A knob is a small protrusion or rounded shape used for turning, lifting, or grasping something.
You'll often find knobs on doors, cabinets, and machines, which are usually small and easy to turn with your hand. Think about the door handles you use every day - those are probably knobs too! They're simple but useful, and they come in all sorts of materials like metal, wood, or plastic. Sometimes a knob can be just for show, adding a decorative touch to an old-fashioned clock or other object. In electronics and construction, a knob might refer to a small round control, like the one on a light switch or thermostat.
