What is the origin of "knock on wood". Is this just another myth legend?

Superstitions, they drive some of us batty. My worst is a black cat. I will circle the block, in order to avoid a black cat from crossing my path.

Question: so, what is the origin of “knock on wood”? Is this another superstition or is it accomplished for good luck?
