To hit something sharply with a loud sound, or to have a flavor or quality of something; also a small fishing boat.
From Middle Dutch 'smacken' meaning to hit or strike; the onomatopoetic quality suggests the sound itself influenced the word's creation across multiple languages.
The word 'smack' has completely separate origin stories—'to hit' comes from Dutch, but 'to taste of' comes from the German word for taste, showing how different meanings can hide under one spelling!
