In rhetoric, linguistics and poetry, onomatopoeia (also spelled onomatopœia) is a figure of speech that employs a word, or occasionally, a grouping of words, that imitates the sound it is describing, and thus suggests its source object, such as "bang" or "click", or animal such as "moo", "quack" or "meow".
