OnomatopoeiaInteresting Fact:– The word onomatopoeia comes from the
combination of two Greek words, one meaning “name: and the other meaning “I make”.
– Onomatopoeia literally means “the name (or sound) I make.” That is to say that the word means nothing more than the sound it makes.

OnomatopoeiaTick-tock. Tick-tock. The sound of the clock was all that could be heard in the hospital waiting room.
“Tick-tock” sounds like what a clock does when the seconds hand moves around the face. The word itself sounds like the sound it’s representing.
