mnemonic
The origins of silent K are difficult to pin down. What we do know is that the k wasn't always silent, especially in words of Germanic origin. Just as it is in German, the k was actually pronounced and many of the words which now have silent k originally began with that distinctive clicking sound. However, some time after the Chaucerian era, the k sound disappeared from the kn combination. There is speculation that it suddenly became hard to pronounce, and was just one of many linguistic changes after the Great Vowel Shift.This answer derived from http://www.dailywritingtips.com/the-silent-k
Silent consonants are words that are spelled with silent letters. Example: Knife - the k is silent - and it is pronounced "nife" but is spelled knife
Some compound words that start with K are:keepsakekettledrumkeyboardkeychainkickoffkindheartedknickknackknockoff
