Clout

Noun IPA pronunciation: klaʊt / kl-ow-t
The first documented use of this word came about before the 900s. In Old English its spelling was "Clut." Its original definition was "a lump of something." The slang term came about in 1946 and was defined as "the personal influence one has." It was originally used by politicians.

Verb To hit or strike someone or something with your hand. This slang also derived from the original meaning of the noun form of this word. It holds the idea of striking someone with a lump (the lump, in this case, being one's hand). This term came about in the 14th century. Though, it was slowly phased out of its slang status and became an official definition during its increased usage in the English language.
