What is an Onomatopoeia?

It is a word that imitates the natural sound; example easy to remember is a sound of a cat 'meow'

The word is the sound. Drop a plank of wood on the floor and the sound generated matches the word: BANG! SLAP! CRASH! Drop that same piece of wood into some water and the sound could be SPLASH! or THUD! or a combination of both. The formation of the word is the sound it represents. From the Greek - 'word making'
