Answer:

Onomatopoeia

Explanation:

The term "onomatopoeia" comes from the Greek word "onomatopoiia" which means "word-making", and it refers to those words whose sounds imitate what they refer to or describe (their meaning). Examples of onomatopoeia are "smash", "clap", "pop", "bang" "cough" "moo" "whoosh," "swoosh," and "splash" because all these words imitate the sound they describe.
