k \k\, k=a,
   the eleventh letter of the english alphabet, is nonvocal
   consonant. the form and sound of the letter k are from the
   latin, which used the letter but little except in the early
   period of the language. it came into the latin from the
   greek, which received it from a phoenician source, the
   ultimate origin probably being egyptian. etymologically k is
   most nearly related to c, g, h which see.

   note: in many words of one syllable k is used after c, as in
         crack, check, deck, being necessary to exhibit a
         correct pronunciation in the derivatives, cracked,
         checked, decked, cracking; since without it, c, before
         the vowels e and i, would be sounded like s. formerly,
         k was added to c in certain words of latin origin, as
         in musick, publick, republick; but now it is omitted.

   but quite common among crackers and warez d00dz in compounds such as
   `k-kool' /k'kool'/, `k-rad' /k'rad'/, and `k-awesome' /k'aw`sm/. also
   used to intensify negatives; thus, `k-evil', `k-lame', `k-screwed', and
   `k-annoying'. overuse of this prefix, or use in more formal or technical
   contexts, is considered an indicator of lamer status.
