Onomatopoeia refers to the phenomenon where a word phonetically imitates or resembles the sound it describes. These words are often used to mimic natural sounds or the sounds associated with objects or actions. For example, "cuckoo" represents the sound made by the bird of the same name, making it an example of onomatopoeia.
Information Booster:
 Onomatopoeia words are often used in poetry, comics, and everyday speech to create auditory effects.
 Examples include buzz, bang, whisper, and sizzle.
 These words enhance descriptive language, making it more engaging and vivid.
 They help in expressing sounds naturally and are often learned intuitively by speakers.
Additional Knowledge:
Book: Refers to an object, no sound imitation involved.
Shoe: Refers to footwear, not based on sound.
Watch: Refers to a timepiece or an act, without any sound imitation.
