onomatopoeia \on`omat`opoe"ia\, n. l., fr. gr. ?; 'o`noma,
   'ono`matos, a name + poiei^n to make. philol.
   the formation of words in imitation of sounds; a figure of
   speech in which the sound of a word is imitative of the sound
   of the thing which the word represents; as, the buzz of bees;
   the hiss of a goose; the crackle of fire.
   1913 webster

   note: it has been maintained by some philologist that all
         primary words, especially names, were formed by
         imitation of natural sounds, but this is not believed
         by most.
