Answer 5

Knot.  This term came from the good old days of sailing vessels when a rope with knots tied at specific distances apart and some type of resistance device tied on the end was trailed behind the boat, and the navigator would see based on the boat speed how many knots would pass during a specific amount of time.  This could then be converted into knots per hour.  Over time and with better ways of measurement this was converted to a specific speed that equals about 1.15 miles per hour.
