But cold is redundant. What is the correct translation? What is not needed in our system? If someone is knocked out, they’re usually understood to be unconscious (either because of a blow, something they drank, a drug they used, etc.). The word cold is usually just added for emphasis; it means they’re really knocked out.

My only problem is that, right now, the expression “knocked out cold” is often used in association with fights. When a boxer lands a really good blow, but his opponent is knocked out a significant period of time, people say he was “knocked out cold” or “on top of him.” ”

So “knocked out cold” is a conglomeration of these concepts. The “out cold” part is a description of their current condition, and the “knocked” part is describing that it resulted from a physical blow or impact.
