Step-by-step explanation:
The word onomatopoeia has its origin in the Greek onomatopoeia, meaning "act of making words". The Greek term is composed of two other terms: onoma, which means "word, name", and poiein, which means "to do."
Description:
This figure of speech manifests itself through the use of words that try to mimic sounds of our daily lives, such as the characteristic noises of animals, the noise produced by phenomena of nature, the various sounds of musical instruments and so many others. An onomatopoeia is a word we use to represent these sounds, since we are not able to reproduce them faithfully in our speech or writing.
Some onomatopoeias are so frequent that they have already established themselves as the conventional representation of certain sounds. This is the case of the tic-tac that we all use when we want to mimic the noise of the clock working. It is also the case of the "meow" that we all understand is the sound produced by the cat. In addition to these, there are the onomatopoeias that we create while we talk normally in everyday life and do not even realize. If you are talking about the noise of an engine and want to mimic it, you will have no trouble inventing a short word (or sequence of words) that reminds you of the sound the engine makes. Although no one else knows or uses this term, it is an onomatopoeia.
