Click

A short, sharp sound made when a switch or button is pressed or when two hard objects collide briefly. More broadly, it refers to the act of pressing a button on a computer mouse or trackpad to select or activate something, or a similar action on a screen. It can also denote a simple, quick process, achieving a quick result or understanding, or a feeling of instant connection or realization. This term further expands to describe online engagements, typically, when you click an advertisement to visit a seller's website.
